AfterShock Comics Encourages All to ‘JOIN THE FUTURE’ in New Series
December 12, 2019A new science fiction western is bound for AfterShock Comics, per creators Zack Kaplan and Piotr Kowalski, as the premise is simple, ‘if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em (or stop ’em)’.
The coming-of-age story will center on Clementine Libbey in a future where everything comes together under the watchful eye of mega corporations, ones which believe to know what’s best for its customers. However, there’s one small town which doesn’t play ball and the mayor’s daughter is determined to cause a lot of problems for them.
“(This book) captures the classic spirit of the Western, gunslinging excitement and grandiose adventure, but with a sci-fi, futuristic twist, as technologically-advanced cities reigning supreme in the dying whispers of the All-American small town,” said Kaplan. “I’m excited, because it’s more than a story of the city versus the country, it’s a story about the ever-changing landscape of America.”
Join the Future #1 is scheduled to drop on March 4, 2020.
