Paris, 1800. Theophile has been moldering in an asylum for five years with no clear memory of how he came to be there. He wavers in and out of madness until the day that unseen forces compel him to escape and make his way back home to the haunted Breton coast. As he follows the tatters of memory back to the ungodly events of his childhood, striving to wring sense out of madness, he is pursued in turn by furious crows, drowned witches, a loved one long believed dead, a secret cabal of priests and a damaged orphan. Each carries pieces of a secret that emerges into two distinct but interwining tales of supernatural vengeance. As the ravages of Theophile's buried past catch up with him at last, a battle for power begins, and the stakes are no less than the fate of the lost souls in hell.

Great Debut,

This review is from: The Drowned (Paperback)
Beautiful art, engaging story.
I'm not typically a fan of period horror, but this book grabed me right away. I loved every moment. Great pacing, the dialogue was crisp and not overly flowery (sometimes a problem with period stuff) I will definately be keeping an eye out for more books by Jim and Lani
5.0 out of 5 stars
A triumph.,
This review is from: The Drowned (Paperback)
I have been READING comic books seriously since 1986, and in 20 years I can honestly say that this is one of the best combinations of writing and art I've ever picked up. This team has the potential to be one of the greats. A "must own".

This review is from: The Drowned (Paperback)
I am not really a big fan of comic books, but this one is a real treat. The art is beautiful, story pacing is right and the end is unexpected and very exciting. All in all this book is a perfect mix of hope, despair and mystery. Great job Laini and Jim. By the way the official "The Drowned" website is here - http://www.thedrowned.net/.
