Sea of Sorrows #2

Issue two of Sea of Sorrows really ramps up the tension of the series. It brings more depth to the characters and it brings the horror well and truly out of the depths and, if not into the light, certainly into the terror-filled night. Read Full Review

When all is said and done, Sea of Sorrows #2 builds upon the excellent start its predecessor delivers to further construct a superbly set-up narrative. I look forward to learning where the story goes from here. Read Full Review

Sea of Sorrows is a pitch perfect slow burn and it's paying off in spades. This is a tense read from beginning to end and the creators are dialing that feeling up with each turn of the page. We know that there's nothing but pain and bloodshed awaiting this crew, but they don't and that makes for a riveting experience. Read Full Review

There remains a strong premise, but with thin characterization and little else beyond the horrors hidden in the waves, the execution behind each encounter needs to be much stronger. Read Full Review

Sea of Sorrows Issue: 2 Publisher: @idwpublishing Writer: @rdouek Artist: @alexcormack Colorist: Alex Cormack & Mark Mullaney Cover: Alex Cormack Letterer: @justin_birch_letters This historical horrific story of the horrors in the ocean continues as tensions amongst the crew is rising rapidly along with their ever growing greed. The sunken U-Boat Bremen contains long lost gold and the crew continue to risk their lives despite technical delays and mechanical failures. Not to mention it’s perched on a shelf in deep dark shark infested ocean. However, that’s not the only danger that looms as a mysterious monster with seductive powers stalks them all. So far, we are two issues into this horror ocean story. I’m rea lly enjoying the tone of this series. The tension amongst the crew is an enjoyable sight as their greed is starting to get the best of them. The danger around the ship constantly looms as the shark infested waters can take them at any second. Throw in the monster stalking their every move, anything can happen at any moment. They are really building up the suspense in these first two issues while just teasing us enough to keep us on the edge of our seats. The artwork in here is great as it feels like I’m watching a movie. Cormack really does a great job with the darkness of the ocean. It adds a lot more intrigue as I find myself looking for more creepiness from panel to panel. I love this cover as well. It really sells that this is a creepy story. I look forward to the next issue.

The first death was very difficult to decipher visually, but the plot is deliciously creepy.

visually confusing on the first death and heavily ripping off Alien for the rest of it.
