Amid Iceland's dramatic volcanic landscapes, forensic scientist Askja Thorasdottir is investigating a mystery involving the skeleton of a Neanderthal who appears to have been killed by a Cold War-era Soviet bullet. Before long, someone's trying to tell Askja something - and someone else is trying to kill her.

Originally published as a three-issue limited series by Image Comics in 2007 - and nominated for two Harvey Awards - this new incarnation of Umbra includes all the original issues as well as a ''director's cut'' of the ending: the brand-new, never-before-seen conclusion intended by the creators.

Suggested for mature readers.

Industry Reviews

''Affecting characters, novel mystery, and solid storytelling make Umbra a worthwhile story, especially if you want something character-driven and non-super-powered to read.'' - Adam White, comiccritique.com.

''From the first page it took nearly no time at all to become completely fascinated ... a combination of highly skilled writing talent and an uber-engaging mystery.'' - Mike Murray, mycomicstore.net.

''Mike Hawthorne is very good.'' - Warren Ellis.
