The prospect of Cullen Bunn and Juan Doe working together on a book was enticing enough, but hearing that it was going to be a Biblical tale about a dual ark of dark beasts and mythological creatures turned this project into one of my most anticipated books of the year.

Doe has proven himself as a consistent workhorse for Aftershock, tackling American Monster, and then providing stunning work for World Reader and the Animosity: the Rise. It’s incredible to see the further evolution of his distinctive artist styling with this debut issue; in his previous Aftershock works his flowing work shows a glimpse of sinister creatures, and here he REALLY gets to cut loose.
