AfterShock Comics had a great reception to the first Shock anthology book they put out previously and now they’re gearing up for a second with a solid list of creatives on it. The 160-page book is set for a June 26th, 2019 release priced at $34.99 which will include writers R.L. Stine, Garth Ennis, Cullen Bunn, Marguerite Bennet, and more to be revealed who are working with artists Russ Braun, Francesco Francavilla, Juan Doe, Sam Kieth, and more. Tim Bradstreet is producing the cover for it that you can see to the right.
“When I started putting together the first volume of SHOCK I thought it would be a one-time event,” said AfterShock Publisher and Chief Creative Officer, Joe Pruett. “I’d gather some great creators and allow them to tell some fun and intriguing short stories and that would be that. But, the first volume was met with such great enthusiasm and was received so well that that idea of doing additional volumes only made sense. Which is fine by me, as I’ve always loved the anthology format and have throughout my career embraced the challenge of gathering the best talent and allowing them to tell short, yet entertaining stories.”
“Putting together a project like this demands time and attention, but there is a lot of personal satisfaction when the end product is complete. As long as the demand remains, I could see myself doing a volume every six months or so. I hope we can continue for years to come.”
