Dark Horse Comics announced the August 2025 release of Riptide by Alex Vede.
The secretive NARWAL organization is hiding powerful secrets during the most contentious point of the Cold War. One marine biologist, Max, is drawn into the mysteries surrounding whale communications that mention the legendary Ceto—an advanced underwater civilization believed to be a myth. If Max is forced to choose between his loyalty to humanity and the opportunity to bring about peace with the last inhabitants of the lost city of Atlantis, will he risk everything and save both species?
Ancient grudges and a forgotten nemesis threaten to undermine the world we know, but the depths of the ocean just may hold the key to a new beginning—or a grisly end to everything.
Riptide is 240 pages in length and will arrive in stores on August 19, 2025, with a $24.99 cover price.
