Green Wake is a horror comic book series published by Image comics in 2011.[1] The series takes place in the forgotten town of Green Wake, where a string of mutilated murder victims lead detectives Morley Mack and Kreiger in search of a young woman named Ariel, their prime suspect. When a stranger arrives in town with startling connections to Ariel, Morley discovers a dark link between the case and his past. It only ran 10 of the planned 25 issues, due to a lack of sales.[2][3]
