    I have always been a huge horror fan.
    You don't say!

    Anyhow, this sounds interesting me. For some reason though, Sphere jumped into my head when I first heard this.

    Batman, American Vampire, Swamp Thing, Man of Steel and now this? How does Snyder find time for so much writing?!

    American Vampire is going on hiatus, and I have a feeling he will be leaving Swamp Thing after "Rotworld" concludes (and hopefully handing over the reins to China Mieville).

    The concept here sounds really good, and I'm a fan of Murphy's art; so I'm definitely going to check this out. Creepy post-apocalyptic setting (anyone else thinking of Bioshock?) and highly detailed insane looking sea monsters? Yes please.

    Where did you read that? Do you or anyone else think that the series will conclude for good at some point?

    Edit: Nevermind. I just read the article that mentioned it. Still, I am wondering if AmVam will end for good one day or if it'll be like the Walking Dead...going on forever.

    The hiatus is supposedly just about the halfway point.

    Okay. Meaning there may be an actual ending. Wanted to know because it's been great, but I need to save money and not buying AmVam doesn't seem to be an option =)

    Damn if this doesn't sound absolutely awesome. Sean Murphy is one of those artists who is quite exceptional. A while back I suggested he draw a Blade comic. This is going to be a great book.
