One of AfterShock Comics’ most popular and bestselling series returns – with a vengeance! From JIMMY’S BASTARDS creators GARTH ENNIS and RUSS BRAUN comes JIMMY’S LITTLE BASTARDS, a special 3-issue oversized prestige format mini-series that’s bolder, bawdier and even more badass than the original!

Nancy is taking up the slack in fine style, cutting a bloody swath through the Regent rogues’ gallery. But a mysterious message starts Jimmy looking into his family’s murky past…where he finds a clue to a strange and deadly new danger.

🍇 The Vineyard 🍇

As announced this morning, writer Brian Hawkins (Black Cotton, Believe in the Name, Don't Ever Blink) is coming to AfterShock in August. accompanied by illustrator Sami Kivelä (THE HEATHENS, UNDONE BY BLOOD, Abbott), for THE VINEYARD - a myth-inspired horror series about what happens when family values and otherworldly obligations collide.

THE VINEYARD is a family-owned winery that sows and reaps by the blessing of the great god of wine and revelry, Dionysus. However, the Vines family's patron god requires complete devotion in the form of four sacrificial killings a year before each harvest. This has been done in unfettered obeisance. But all of that changed when
the family's patriarch, Didache Vines, was in a horrible accident that left him paralyzed and in a wheelchair. Now, the sacrificial and murderous duties of the Vines family have fallen to wife and matriarch, Maranatha Vines. With harvest season fast approaching and the family short of their annual sacrificial killings, Maranatha's struggle with her conscience puts all of her family - husband, son and daughter - in jeopardy. With colors by Jason Wordie, letters from Taylor Esposito, a main cover by Kivela and Wordie, plus a first issue incentive variant cover by Francesco Francavilla, THE VINEYARD is vintage horror in a class by itself.
