AfterShock Comics Announces New Series Including One From Garth Ennis

jimmys_bastards-1Since its official debut in April 2015, AfterShock Comics has launched 16 titles from some of the world’s most celebrated creators. With hits including Animosity from Marguerite Bennett, Alters from Paul Jenkins, Rough Riders from Adam Glass and Shipwreck from Warren Ellis, AfterShock will debut its second series from award-winning creator Garth Ennis, called Jimmy’s Bastards, later this year.

More details including art, release date and order info to be announced soon!

AfterShock closed out 2016 with several award nominations and an incredible year of noteworthy projects from industry heavyweights including Brian Azzarello, Jimmy Palmiotti & Amanda Conner, Mark Waid, and several others, including the above-referenced best sellers.

Jimmy’s Bastards, the second AfterShock title from Ennis following last year’s release, Dreaming Eagles, will debut early summer. The official solicit text follows:

Jimmy Regent is Britain’s number one super spy, a devastatingly handsome secret agent with a license to kill and style to match. Sailing effortlessly through mission after mission with wit and panache, defying danger again and again, Jimmy always triumphs and always gets the girl- gets rather a lot of girls, actually. But now a new and particularly dangerous secret organization has arisen, their sights fixed firmly on Jimmy’s head. Two hundred young men and women in ultimate physical condition, trained in all the arts of deception and death, each bearing a curious facial resemblance to… Jimmy? Every one united with one terrible aim: Get Daddy.

With several new series debuting in 2017, comic enthusiasts can expect new releases from leading creators that include John Layman with Sam Keith, Frank Tieri, Jeff Loveness and more. There will also be new titles announced from AfterShock’s current family of creators including Adam Glass and Justin Jordan.

Between A (Li’L Depressed) Boy And A Girl

Official Press Release

BETWEEN A (LI’L DEPRESSED) BOY AND A GIRL

Image Comics collects cult favorite web series this February

Berkeley, CA – 23 November 2010 – He found a home first on the Internet. Now, Li’l Depressed Boy comes to print with LI’L DEPRESSED BOY #1, out this February from Image Comics.

LI’L DEPRESSED BOY follows the adventures of a ragdoll as he goes about his ordinary life. In the first issue, Li’l Depressed Boy meets girl, with all the romantic and stylish lovelorn charm that characterizes movies such as (500) Days of Summer.

The cult favorite web series was created in 2005 by S. Steven Struble, a comic colorist (CHEW, Kick Drum Comix) and nationally competing slam poet, who continues to write the series. Early Li’l Depressed Boy strips were drawn by comics luminaries such as Sam Keith (THE MAXX), Jamie McKelvie (PHONOGRAM), Jim Mahfood (MIXTAPE), and more. Sina Grace took over art duties on the acclaimed web comic in 2008. His illustrations can be seen in various publications, most recently in Among the Ghosts, a young adult novel written by Amber Benson (Tara on Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

“The Li’l Depressed Boy comes from so many personal experiences, which I think correlates to why people relate to the story,” says Struble. “We’ve all been that quiet person who can barely muster a smile. With Sina as the regular artist and our first story arc together under the Image ‘I,’ it’s a dream come true.”

Adds Grace, “When I started drawing the Li’l Depressed Boy, I was so excited to be collaborating with someone who wanted to tackle comics the same way I did: with earnestness, fun, and a touch of self-deprecation. After all these years, I’m happy to say that the work we are presenting with Image Comics maintains those core values.”

LI’L DEPRESSED BOY #1 (diamond code), a 32-page full-color comic book for $2.99, will be in stores February 9, 2011. Meet the Li’l Depressed Boy by visiting www.lildepressedboy.com.
