Prey: Origin of the Species (2007)
Fiction Review by The Gravedigger
11.18.08

Prey: Origin of the Species (2007) Writer: Michael Lent

Adaptation: Mike Raicht

This graphic novel reminds me of that television show SURFACE from a few years ago.

The Prometheus Corporation, drilling for oil in one of the ocean's trenches, ten-thousand feet below sea level, unearths a primitive life form that resembles a cross between a lamprey eel and an octopus. A retired diver, Cloyce Wittacker, is coerced to working for them, to find out what killed their workers. He manages to bring back a small creature and gives it to his former colleagues to examine but it escapes and starts to breed and grow, killing whales, swimmers and fisherman. So it's up to him and his estranged friends to stop the creatures before they decimate the ocean's ecosystem. This gives Cloyce a chance to redeem himself, as he feels responsible for the death of his diving partner several years before. Not only does he want to stop the creatures from killing, he wants to go back down to the point of their origin and seal the opening in that deep sea trench.

This is a quick read and I felt as if I was going through the storyboards of a movie, which I guess is the point of this horror/action/thriller.
