It's really no surprise that when two of our favorite creators here at IGN -- Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy -- paired up for last year's American Vampire: Survival of the Fittest, the series wound up being IGN's Best Mini-Series of 2011. Now we've got even more to look forward to from the duo, as Vertigo revealed at their panel today that they'd be reuniting for a new mini-series called The Wake, an underwater sci-fi horror tale.
"I couldn't be more excited about The Wake!” explained Snyder. “This is a story Sean and I have actually been developing together for more than a year, a big, twisted, sprawling science fiction and horror epic, all of which begins with a single, terrifying discovery at the bottom of the ocean. It's one of the most ambitious stories I've ever done, and there's no one I'd rather be creating it with than Sean Murphy. Sean's a great friend and we had a blast together on American Vampire: Survival of the Fittest; luckily, he's also one of the industry's brightest new stars, someone with unrivaled abilities as a world-builder -- every scene he draws is so fully realized, so richly imagined, it's hugely inspiring working with him, and I'm grateful to him for signing on to be my partner at the end of the world, here."
The Wake is set for release in 2013.
