HUMANOIDS INCORPORATED
06 August 2019
In the insatiable quest for natural resources, humans are searching further and deeper into the earth, threatening to unleash monsters thought to be long gone.

The megalodon, the prehistoric ancestor of the great white shark was the most ferocious predator of the seas, an 80 foot killing machine extinct for millions of years… But when divers drilling in an underwater cave are attacked by this living fossil, oceanographer Kim Melville discovers that this creature may not only have survived, but thrived, and is reclaiming its place at the top of the food chain.

Reviews for Carthago (GN)

I was so damn entertained I couldn't stop reading. The writing is bananas and the art is just plain awesome. This is like Jaws meets Heavy Metal comics. I hope they make more. - Forces of Geek Put simply this is the kind of comic to become utterly lost within and would be worthy of the term unputdownable if such a word existed. - SciFiNow This one is one of the tops-and you need to grab it. - AiPT! Both the simple and the complex panels are striking in Carthago, combining brutality with beauty. - ICv2 Carthago goes inside instead of out to find its mysteries and madness. So far under the waves, so close to the center of the Earth, it might as well be in space. There is still as much to discover on our own planet as there is outside our solar system. The fear of darkness in this book, it's not of the alien -- it's primal. - DoomRocket
