This comic kind of went under the radar for me. Fortunately, there are only 5 and I can catch up pretty easily. Written by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, and featuring the art of Jason Shawn Alexander (Damn Nation, The Secret, The Escapists), The Drowning is the story of Hellboy mainstay Abe Sapien trying to save a cursed island and its doomed inhabitants.
Mignola has earned his chops and never seems to disappoint. I really enjoyed Alexander's art in Damn Nation and he has brought the same sensibility to the table with Abe. His moody muted colors add the perfect touch.
