Explanation

This comic is making the point that there is a wonderful world waiting to be explored in the ocean. From above it seems so plain, endless, and boring. But underneath the surface lies the most unexplored area on the planet. This comic is a commentary on the need to head below the waves and start exploring.

In this world of fill-in issues, late sceuhdles and incredibly detailed comics artwork, I think you have ever right to be proud of yourself. When Kirkman started INVINCIBLE, he wasn't even able to make it seven issues without having to replace his artist. In the case of Wolfman, he has you, and your work has been solid, issue after issue, which just adds to your sense of accomplishment. Great work!By the way - any idea on when the next trade will be out? I missed an issue in the run and want to read it!
