The Wake #3 by Scott Snyder

A team of scientists and military personnel press deeper into a mysterious deep-sea anomaly, where tense exploration turns violent as strange, intelligent marine life and unsettling evidence force them to confront whether this is a natural discovery or first contact; personal secrets, bureaucratic cover-ups, and moral fractures among the crew raise the stakes on the surface while brief glimpses of a far-future, hybrid society hint that whatever they have unleashed will reshape humanity’s destiny, ending the issue on a tense cliffhanger linking present-day crisis to a looming evolutionary upheaval.
