Leviathan is a horror comic series created by Ian Edginton and D'Israeli and appearing in the British comic 2000 AD starting in 2003.
The story is set on a massive ocean liner (the Leviathan of the title) which has been transported to some sort of parallel world with no land or landmarks. The story appeared in ten parts followed by three stand alone "Tales of the Leviathan" which expanded on the history of the ship as well as featuring new characters.
Ian Edginton has described it as "Agatha Christie meets Silent Hill."

The Leviathan is the largest ship ever built - A mile long and half a mile tall and taking ten years to build. She is clearly modeled on the Titanic. Launched in 1928 with some 30,000 passengers and crew it disappeared and has spent the last twenty years lost in some kind of endless and lifeless ocean. There are strange goings on deep in the bowels of the ship which occasionally leaks out on to the upper decks.
All of the strips were collected in a trade hardcover published by Rebellion in October 2006, ISBN 1-904265-65-0):
