Joe Golem is dead. Or is he? Simon Church is fading fast in the city above and Molly is held captive by Dr. Cocteau's gas-men below, but something stirs in the tunnels. How much of the golem is still in the man, or the man in the golem? And can either be enough to stop Dr. Cocteau once he has the artifact he seeks? The second part of the comics adaptation of Mignola and Golden's prose novel!

In 1925, earthquakes and a rising sea level left Lower Manhattan submerged under more than thirty feet of water, so that its residents began to call it the Drowning City. Those unwilling to abandon their homes created a new life on streets turned to canals and in buildings whose first three stories were underwater. Fifty years have passed since then, and the Drowning City is full of scavengers and water rats, poor people trying to eke out an existence, and those too proud or stubborn to be defeated by circumstance. Among them are fourteen-year-old Molly McHugh and her friend and employer, Felix Orlov. Once upon a time Orlov the Conjuror was a celebrated stage magician, but now he is an old man, a psychic medium, contacting the spirits of the departed for the grieving loved ones left behind. When a seance goes horribly wrong, Felix Orlov is abducted by strange men wearing gas masks and rubber suits, and Molly soon finds herself on the run. Her flight will lead her into the company of a mysterious man, and his stalwart sidekick, Joe Golem, whose own past is a mystery to him, but who walks his own dreams as a man of stone and clay, brought to life for the sole purpose of hunting witches.

The golem has returned! As his humanity slips away, one driving thought remains in Joe Golem's mind: hunt the witches, save the girl. But time is running out as he treks through the submerged tunnels of the Drowning City in search of Dr. Cocteau and the horrible revelation that awaits in his lab! Meanwhile, the ghosts of Simon Church's past associates pay a call. But are they there to help, or to hinder?

Felix Orlov, all traces of his humanity gone, reaches toward the heavens as the Outer Dark descends! Dr. Cocteau is convinced he can use Lector's Pentajulum to make contact with the ''gods'' who answer Felix's cries—and is willing to put the entire Drowning City in jeopardy to do it.

Long before Simon Church hunted witches, that mission belonged to the golem. And the deeper the golem ventures into the tunnels beneath the Drowning City, the deeper he delves into his past. But once Dr. Cocteau reveals the true intent behind his search for the Pentajulum, and the role he expects Felix and Molly to play in his plan, the entire city's future will be in jeopardy.
