They're calling it The Walking Dead meets Princess Mononoke. Jay Gunn's new creator-owned series for Titan Comics, who are doing that sort of thing now. Man, ex-Titan employee Jamie Boardman must be really annoyed, he tried to get that sort of thing going at Titan for years without success, then shortly after he leaves they decide that it's just the thing to do. Ah well, Jamie;s at Amazon now, so he'd probably okay ruling the world.

Back to Surface Tension. 36 pages of story for $3.99, feel the width, here's an early look at what all the fuss is about, as retailers saw this weekend at ComicsPRO.

"We are all made of water"

Months after mysterious corals drew 99% of humanity into the sea, a band of survivors ekes out a hollow existence on a remote British island.

When two people are cast up on the beach, completely blue, but very much alive, the island is thrown into turmoil.

What caused the mass extinction event? How did these two return from the deep, when billions died? Most importantly, what is the coral, and what does it want with the Earth?

A timely ecological fable of a planet rebelling against its inhabitants – perfect for fans of The Walking Dead, The Day of the Triffids, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers – Surface Tension is a gorgeous adventure of unprecedented scope. The oceans have never seemed so threatening!

Pat Mills called Surface Tension, "A story for our times, written and drawn with passion!"
