Sea of Sorrows works like a pot of water on a stove in terms of its scares. It starts off slow with a few bubbles here and there and then before you know it, it's boiling over. I already knew to give the ocean the respect it deserves. I learned that from Jaws. Sea of Sorrows reinforces that feeling and adds even more reasons to stay on the land. You have to wonder if the treasure trove this crew is after is worth the bloodshed they will most certainly endure. Read Full Review

Given my aforementioned lack of interest in horror books, I was pleasantly surprised to get caught in the swirl of this first issue. The ability of the creative team working together is on show with enough script and dialogue to direct the art which shows enough to warrant the need of less lettering, thus nothing distracts the reader from the whole experience.

Sea of Sorrows #1 is a solid debut delivering a period piece of horror. The comic is more focused on building tension for what's to come than deliver scares. It's a psychological angle than cheap thrills. Like Road of Bones', Sea of Sorrows #1 is a hell of a start and perfect for those who are looking for a cold frightening chill in these fall and winter months. Read Full Review

Although the plot didn't hook me in just yet, I see incredible potential for a great turn down the line in the mini-series which should feel like a reward just as valuable as the gold the characters are seeking.

A cool little horror story set in the Atlantic ocean in the 20s. The art is a bit difficult to read at times because of how dark it is, but I'm very interested to see what happens next.

Bummed my shop was out of every issues except 1. Saw it sitting there and gave it a shit not knowing its been out for a bit. Its a fun little read that sets up a nice not so much horror but mystery type adventure that ill probably look to finish.
