Get to know the Nekton family, underwater explorers who are always up for adventure in The Deep.

Where the hit Netflix series began! Journey into The Deep with the daring aquanaut family, The Nektons, aboard their state-of-the-art (and oh, so shiny) submarine, The Aronnax. When an earthquake off the coast of Greenland leads to strange reports of monster sightings, William and Kaiko Nekton, along with their kids, Fontaine and Ant (and of course, Ant's pet fish, Jeffrey), dive into the mystery!

Will they find what they're looking for? Will they teach a fish to fetch? Will they be accidentally eaten? Find out in the all-ages adventure from #1 New York Times bestselling author, Tom Taylor (Injustice: Gods Among Us, All-New Wolverine, Star Wars: Adventures) and James Brouwer (Justice League Beyond).

Not to many books about solid loving families out there anymore but this one shows how a family can come together with a common goal, mystery and adventure. Entertaining artwork and wonderful dialogue. A book for all ages.

My son is a fan of this show. He really liked this book. He said it had differences from the show, but he liked that it wasn't exactly the same. The graphic novel has six different chapters. The artistry is different than the show, but my son like that also. It is a different way of experiencing the Deep if you are familiar with the show, this doesn't take away from the content of the book though.

Finally a book that's not full of potty humor. No violence or bratty attitudes. An intelligent family going on adventures. My son and I love this book as well as the show on Netflix. Buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Never seen the show, but we ADORED this all-ages graphic novel
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2018
A multi-ethnic family of underwater explorers (a.k.a. science superheroes!), amazingly funny writing, an art style that looks like animation in the best way, and the best pet fish EVER. The Deep started as a comic and became a Netflix series, I think (?), before Boom re-issued this graphic novel in November 2017. It's one of my favorite kids' comics in the past couple years for fun, adventure, and submarine living. If another volume appears, I'll be pre-ordering it for sure.

Absolutely great. Both 'Here Be Dragons' and 'Vanishing Island' are in this book. If you are a fan of the TV show definitely give this a peruse as it is the original idea behind episode 1 and 26 of the first season. Really really cool.
