From New York Times best-selling MIND MGMT creator Matt Kindt comes an exciting new undersea sci-fi mystery.

Mia is a special investigator hired to uncover possible sabotage taking place at a deep-sea research station. What she finds is a mind-blowing crime scene filled with suspects with terrible secrets, strange deep-sea creatures, and an impending flood!

“Solving a murder is never easy, but what if you had to do it miles underwater, trapped on a station that could flood at any moment … DEPT. H follows the young investigator named Mia ... tasked with finding out who killed the smartest man on Earth before she and her evidence are washed away into the darkest depths of the ocean.” -io9

Dept. H by Matt Kindt is my new fave comic, an underwater sci-fi whodunnit from Dark Horse Comics. Total, total genius!” -Mark Millar (Huck, Chrononauts, Kickass)

“At the bottom of the ocean, no one can hear you scream. In Dark Horse Comics’ upcoming series Dept. H, a woman named Mia finds that out firsthand as she travels to a remote undersea research station to investigate a murder. It debuts on April 27 and it's an Agatha Christie-esque, locked-room mystery: Since only a handful of people work down there and you can’t exactly run too far from the crime scene, the culprit must still be lurking nearby. The story is as high-pressure as a deep-sea diving suit.” -NEW YORK MAGAZINE/ VULTURE

"This is flat out fantastic. Classic Matt Kindt--mesmerizing, strange, soulful." -Junot Díaz, Pulitzer-Prize winning author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

“Matt Kindt takes the murder mystery genre deeper than ever before.” -THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER/ HEAT VISION

"Dept. H is an enthralling, tense murder mystery, yes, and a damn good one at that. With riveting characters and and heartbreaking drama, it grabs hold and doesn't let go." -Cullen Bunn (Harrow County

“Kindt breaks all pre-conceived notions of what comic books are.” -IGN

“What happens when you take one part murder mystery, one part family drama, one part Sci-Fi exploration, stick it all in the depths of the ocean and put one of the most talented artists in the business today at the helm of it? You get DEPT. H.” -BIG COMIC PAGE

“A genre-bending mystery that will leave you clamoring for more....This is an artistically gorgeous book that exemplifies some of the best comics has to offer as a visual storytelling medium….Together, Matt and Sharlene Kindt have crafted an eerie tale of deceit that leaves you sympathetic to the weight bearing down on Mia, not just to find her father’s killer, but to make sure that she and the rest of the crew members don’t find themselves crushed by the looming pressure of an undiscovered killer - or by the ocean’s depths.” -NEWSARAMA
