Paul hasn’t recovered from the mysterious Jolene’s shocking resemblance to Pamela, and for the meek and fearful scientist, the situation is already getting worse. The scary sea monsters who rushed them seem to be unbeatable. Will they find a way to survive? Outside help will be needed…and luckily, they will make some new friends who will help them survive. And in the meantime, Pam is still trapped in the deep ocean.

When she is not working, she loves good food, reading comics and… sharing photos of cats and wolves on Facebook.
Oof. This is kinda terrible. Dialogue is really unnatural and the story is mediocre and amateurish to the point it feels more like a bad indie comic. A shame, really.
Also sorry, this was (unintentionally) hilarious.
What a reaction. 😂 Took that dude all of 10 seconds to move on.["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>
The action continues in issue #2 of the new graphic novel series "Deep Beyond". Paul discovers that one of his kidnappers is Pam's twin sister, Jolene. She is part of a group of "exiles" from other colonies. They plan to hijack an old submarine, but before they can do a systems check, the alarms (which they thought were disabled) go off. The group is now forced to submerge into the deep beyond. Someone higher up in the chain of command doesn't want the general public to know about an "anomaly" that was detected by the last---and missing---expedition.
Miaka Andolfo and David Goy's sci-fi/horror/kaiju series will resonate with fans of "Aliens" and the "Pacific Rim" movies.
Dialogue isn’t any better here, I found it especially cringe/laughing-at-you funny when a character uses his dying breath to quote the great Gandalf the Grey:
“Fly you fools.”
Perhaps a warning to us as the reader, it doesn’t seem like it’ll be getting better.
The covers for the first two issues promised deep sea diving and gigantic monsters from below. So far we’ve had none of it and I feel like a victim of good ol’ clickbait. I’ll try the third issue because it’s available to me. Whether I’ll read the fourth is up in the air.
