The first good look at (part of) the title character.

SCYLLA PAGE 15 - A comic page set inside a catch basin chamber beneath the streets of the city Haven. In narrow top panels, a pink, semi-translucent tentacle slides across rubble and concrete, its surface textured with darker cells and a faint internal skeletal structure. The tentacle suddenly comes to attention, it's tip turning a darker color.
	
In a side panel, Ventrik stands behind Tanya inside a narrow tunnel. He wears a blue work suit and a techno-mechanical glove. Tanya crouches in front of him holding a tablet. She asks if the creature can see them. Ventrik tells her not to move and says if it were certain, they would already be dead.
	
A larger panel shows the creature emerging into the chamber, resembling a massive pink-ish anemone with dozens of thick tendrils radiating outward. Debris falls as it anchors itself against concrete and pipes and strikes at the ceiling of the chamber. A caption notes that the darker coloration at the ends of the tendrils may provide vision. Another caption states that even if they survive inside the sewers, they may not survive trying to leave.

If she can see them, it’s already too late.

If a tree falls in the... sewer? | DYSTOPIA Get more from DYSTOPIA on Patreon

@jackwraith.bsky.social explores a question many of us feel in our bones: how does silence talk on the comic page?

They dig into sound, stillness, and the art of shaping noise in static mediums where what isn’t said can be as loud as a scream.

Scylla Page 14 - A comic page set inside a large underground chamber that serves as a catch basin for the sewers beneath the city of Haven. The top panel shows concrete walls lined with drainage openings and broken pipes as gunshots and explosions echo from the streets above: β€œBANG,” β€œKA-BLAM,” and β€œBOOM.” Water spills from a ruptured pipe into a shallow stream running across rubble-covered ground.
	
On the right side of the chamber wall, a large circular tunnel opening has been breached. Pink-ish colored tentacles grip the edges of the large tunnel. As the creature slowly emerges, a guttural sound effect stretches across the panel.
	
In the lower panels, Ventrik and Tanya stand inside a narrow earthen tunnel facing the chamber. Ventrik, wearing a blue jumpsuit and a tech-mechanical glove, gestures toward the creature and explains that it digs by reinforcing the bones behind its ridges, which must be strong enough to score concrete. Tanya looks up at him as the creature which looks like a large anemone emerges further from the tunnel.

She doesn’t break walls.
She reshapes them.

RIP Robert Duvall. Will never forget the level of acting that could be achieved with a single annoyed glance at having one's lunch interrupted.

Scylla Page 13: A comic page set in interior of the home of Ventrik during a flashback. Ventrik sits on a couch near a window as a Metascience emergency vehicle with flashing lights is visible on the street outside. 

Ventrik's wife, a finely dressed, gray-haired woman in a pink coat speaks to him, warning that his work may get him killed and that the city has become a war zone.

In the final panels, she prepares to leave rolling a suitcase toward the door as she explains that the last expedition to the Rim leaves soon and that safety can only be guaranteed to a certain point. The page ends with her exiting, suggesting finality.

Some departures aren’t arguments.
They’re decisions already made.
