Where Big Ideas Meet Bold Storytelling

When Aftershock Comics burst onto the scene in 2015, they came with a mission: give creators the keys to the kingdom. Founded by comics veteran Joe Pruett and media executive Mike Marts, this publisher turned the independent comics scene on its head.

Aftershock brings together A-list talent and fresh voices, letting them cut loose with original stories. While other publishers play it safe, Aftershock dives into uncharted waters. Horror, sci-fi, crime – if it's bold and original, it has a home here.

Their lineup reads like a who's who of comics: Paul Jenkins, Garth Ennis, Marguerite Bennett, and Brian Azzarello have all brought their wildest ideas to life under the Aftershock banner. Series like "Animosity," "Babyteeth," and "A Walk Through Hell" push boundaries in ways mainstream comics rarely dare.

The publisher's sweet spot? Stories that make you think while they entertain. Crime noir next to cosmic horror. Political thrillers alongside supernatural westerns. Aftershock gives creators room to experiment, and readers reap the rewards.
