Sci-fi Under the Sea, Low by Rick Remender and Greg Tocchini

In a sea of sci-fi, Low explores new depths. While my head is usually among the stars, it’s nice to imagine other worlds closer to home.  And where on Earth is more other-worldly than beneath the seas?  Now imagine you fast-forward a few millennia, we’ve never made it off Earth, we have to retreat under the waves, […]
