Plunge (Hill House Comics) by Joe Hill

I have been given an arc of this title from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
A salvage crew is sent to try and salvage a ship that has been lost at sea for 40 years. It has started sending out a weak signal and an oil company has decided they want to recover it. Along with a salvage crew (who sells dildos for some reason?) a representative from the oil crew goes after the ship with a biologist and her friend in tow. When they reach the island they find a dead body, perhaps a body from the wreck or even a castaway. But in reality they discover an alien species intent on trying to put a monster onto the earth.
It was definitely interesting. The concept was strange but it left far too many unanswered questions. What was wrong with the fish in the tank at the beginning, did it have to do with the weird aliens? What was really the purpose of trying to salvage the ship? What was on it that the Russians wanted it too? Why leave a cliff hanger ending? Was it just to increase the amount of horror, because it seems like a sequel was being set up when it really isn't necessary.
