Wake by Scott Snyder, 256 pages
Wake was recommended to me by Nathan. It is a graphic novel about a newly discovered sea creature being investigated by the government. But when things go drastically wrong humanity pays the price. With the coastal cities now underwater the remaining population is in a scramble to figure out how to stop this threat.
This book combines both stunning visuals with a good story line. It can come across as a little bit jumbled since it jumps around, but I did not find it too bad. Since the story is in now way resolved by the end of this book, I really hope there is a second one on the way.
If you are trying to decide to read it or not, I would say that it is a cross between Cloverfield and Waterworld.
