The Mother of Monsters has risen... and she cries out to her children. The bonds of supernatural blood are strong. Will any of the beasts on Shrae's Ark be able to resist?
From writer Cullen Bunn (X-Men Blue, Deadpool, Venom) and artist Juan Doe (ANIMOSITY: THE RISE, AMERICAN MONSTER, WORLD READER) comes a sinister tale of biblical proportions that HAD to be told at AfterShock Comics!
Dark Ark continues to up the ante with every issue. Each time I think writer Cullen Bunn has topped himself with an incredible twist or outstanding reveal, the next chapter reaches new heights. At this point, I have no idea how Shrae or Noah are going to survive the rest of the Great Flood. Read Full Review
Shrae has already made a deal with the devil, now he tries to deal with another. The introduction and justification for this new antagonist is excellent. The best compliment that can be given a writer is I have no idea how the protagonist can get out of the corner he's been painted into. Bunn has created a foe for all humans to fear more immediately than the wrath of God. The visuals by Doe are also outstanding, showing monsters of all shapes and sizes with dazzling color work. This book should be required reading for horror enthusiasts. Read Full Review
Dark Ark has another strong installment here as we see Shrae working the mother of all monsters in the present and forcing through what needs doing in the past with the ark and bringing the monsters together. I really like what we get from his daughter and her friend of sorts with Janris in adding more color to the project and knowing just what kind of dangers are ahead for her and all the others that Shrae has brought with him. There's some real sense of danger about everything here and Bunn and Doe are doing a great job of bringing it all together so that each installment is thoroughly engaging while enhancing the whole.

Overall this issue is important to the story but the action and excitement in other areas feels a bit muted as a result. Read Full Review
