March 24, 2016 - In advance of the release of the new creator-owned series DEPT. H by Matt and Sharlene Kindt, Dark Horse Comics has released the final cover to the first issue, a trailer and preview pages from the eagerly anticipated series.
Beginning April 20, Matt and Sharlene Kindt present DEPT. H,
a riveting, undersea locked-room murder mystery. Each issue of the
monthly series from Dark Horse Comics covers a period of 24 hours and
follows the exploits of Mia, a special investigator hired to uncover the
truth about what happened at a deep-sea research station. What she
discovers is a mind-blowing crime scene filled with suspects with
terrible secrets, strange deep-sea creatures…. and an impending flood.
The smartest man in the world has been murdered. Six miles deep in the
ocean, there are seven suspects with compelling motives. A woman with
her own connections to the victim is dispatched to the depths to solve
the case. No one is safe.
Inspired by his love of Jacque Cousteau, Jules Verne, CREATURE FROM THE
BLACK LAGOON and James Bond underwater action scenes, NEW YORK TIMES
bestselling creator Matt Kindt collaborates for the first time on an
ongoing series with his wife, Sharlene, who colors Kindt’s pages with
evocative water colors. Together they’ve created a smart, pulpy
adventure, one of the most anticipated new ongoing titles of 2016 and a
worthy successor to Kindt’s critically acclaimed, bestselling MIND MGMT.
We invite you to dive in.
