 Aftershock is a new comic company brought to you by EIC Mike Marts (former X-Men Editor) and Publisher Joe Pruett (Eisner award nominated writer and editor of multiple titles) that features a lot of well known comic talent doing their indie creator owned thing. They launched in 2015 and right now have a half dozen titles out with more coming. The titles cover a wide range of genres from Sci-Fi to Crime to Horror and more. I read some of them on a whim based on the creative teams and have really enjoyed the ones I've tried out. I'm making this thread, which will surely be a ghost town as most indie threads are, in hopes that maybe a few other people might check them out and dig them as well. Here's a list of some current books: American Monster Writer: Brian Azzarello Artist: Juan Doe  Dreaming Eagles Writer: Garth Ennis Artist: Simon Coleby  Inspired by true events, Dreaming Eagles tells the story of the first African Ameri-can fighter pilots to join the United States Army Air Force in WWII and whose humble beginnings in Tuskegee, Alabama propelled them into the deadly skies above Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich. Not only were they instrumental against the Nazi war machine, but also braved an equally great challenge, overcoming everyday bigotry amongst their fellow American soldiers as well as civilians at home. High in the heavens, they fought a battle that would change their country and their world forever. Industry legend Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys, Hellblazer) joins artist Simon Coleby (2000 AD, The Authority) for this high-flying tale of love, war and family. InSEXts Writer: Marguerite Bennett Artist: Ariela Kristantina  At the dusk of a century, a pair of vengeful Victorian vixens discover a horrifying power that transforms them into rich and strange new creatures. Armed with their dark, evolving forms, they descend into a world of the cultured and occult, with new senses and new sensuality, to forge a life for themselves and the child of their love. This new monthly series is the brainchild of writer Marguerite Bennett (A-Force, Angela, Red Sonja) and artist Ariela Kristantina (Wolverines, Deep State), a comic unlike any you’ve seen before! Replica Writer: Paul Jenkins Artist: Andy Clarke  Second Sight Writer: David Hine Artist: Alberto Ponticelli  Strayer Writer: Justin Jordan Artist: Juan Gedeon  Super Zero Writer: Amanda Conner & Jimmy Palmiotti Artist: Rafael de Latorre  And here are some upcoming titles: B.E.K.: Black Eyed Kids Writer: Joe Pruett Artist: Szymon Kudranski  Jackpot Writer: Ray Fawkes Artist: Marco Failla  Rough Riders Writer: Adam Glass Artist: Pat Olliffe  Volition Writer: Ryan Parrott Artist: Omar Francia  So far I've picked up Strayer, Replica, American Monster, and Second Sight and have enjoyed them all. Strayer and Replica are the standouts so far. Both have a good level of comedy and action and the writing and art is great. American Monster still leaves me a bit confused two issues in but I'm digging the style of it. I'm really pumped to read Rough Riders, Volition, and Jackpot as well.

At some show a few months ago, they had a poster with quite a few exciting names that haven't had work announced. I don't know if there's been any news since then.

Yeah I only put things in there that I'd heard announced. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Starlin and Waid do there.

Everyone should read Rough Riders and Jackpot. Especially Rough Riders. I'm kind of bummed that Replica is going on hiatus due to Andy Clarke having eye surgery according to something I read on Twitter. But Paul Jenkins is writing something else during that time that he said was like Sentry and that makes me happy.
