Vertigo Reveals Cover to Scott Snyder & Sean Murphy's THE WAKE

Back at New York Comic Con, Vertigo announced that Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy were teaming up once again for a new series, THE WAKE. You can check out that announcement HERE as well as our podcast when Sean appeared and briefly discussed the book.

Today Vertigo has released some more information including the cover to the first issue.

This is what Snyder first said about the series:

...a big, twisted, sprawling science fiction and horror epic, all of which begins with a single, terrifying discovery at the bottom of the ocean. It's one of the most ambitious stories I've ever done, and there's no one I'd rather be creating it with than Sean Murphy.

You can head over to MTV Geek for more on the main character of the series.

Is this an ongoing or a limited series?

Not usually my genre of choice, but with these two on the title I'll definitely be checking this out.

lookw good

Cheers guys.

I can't wait to get the 'The Wake' series in a superbly fancy hardcover.

I need to actually own a Vertigo comic, might as well get this one.

me too

this does look cool but honestly I would trade every single Vertigo comic to have Hellblazer continue 

@Decoy Elite: Pick up Sean's PUNK ROCK JESUS trade when it comes out.

@G-Man: Might do it. Gotta get all the Sandman trades first though. >.>

Not much to trade for :p

Nice!!!

I thought Scott Snyder said he only wanted to do 3 books at a time? So will he be doing Batman, American Vampire, Superman and The Wake at once?

@Shark_Repellent_Bat_Spray: American Vampire is on a hiatus. It's not going to be coming out for a while.

In Scott Snyder (Batman) and Sean Murphy (Punk Rock Jesus) We Trust.

I'm interested but I'll probably get this in trade form. I don't think my pull list fund will stretch any further...

CANT WAIT

@Helsink: Oh I see... Well I feel dumb now. :P

Picking This up

This will be great!

Looks kind of "creature from the black lagoon"ish

yes!

want it!

@Mucklefluga:I heard it's limited. 12 issues apperentaly.

Same here lol

I'm planning on waiting for both this and Lemire's Trillium to be collected.

Definitely going to get it!

*wallet screams in the background*

IM IN.

scott snyder writing and sean murphy on art.......... excuse me i have to go get some tissues to clean up my blown nerd load.

I'm all over this. Can't wait.

@Shark_Repellent_Bat_Spray: American Vampire is going on hiatus for about a year so Snyder can do The Wake

Excellent! I'm already caught in the wake!

Count me in for Murphy and Snyder

Yes.

Limited series makes me think trade wait, but then again this is Snyder. Conflicted, conflicted I tell you!

The perspective is weird. It looks like it's on both sides of the glass.

Does this have a release date yet?

Will be back in the fall of this year.

Sweeeeet.

:)

Aquatic horror comic? If DC ever wants Snyder to replace Johns on Aquaman, perhaps this is a good way to test the waters.

Definitely picking this up!

Sexy stuff for sure.

This definitely sounds interesting!! I always loved Scott Snyder's works!
