Pretty much my favorite series out of AfterShock Comics, the Dark Ark series wrapped up earlier this year. Now, the publisher has revealed that Cullen Bunn and Juan Do are returning for more with Dark Ark: After The Flood. The new series is set for an October 2nd, 2019 debut from the publisher and they’ve rolled out a bit of information about it. In addition to a regular edition cover, Mike Rooth is producing a lenticular cover while Andrei Bressan is handling the incentive cover.
“This new series picks up right where the last one left off, but a crazy new direction quickly comes to the forefront,” said writer Cullen Bunn. “The “Dark Ark” has found land. Now, a society must form–a society of monsters, many of which hate each other. To complicate matters, the man who held a tentative control on the monsters, Shrae, is dead, and his daughter has taken his powers as her own. Khalee is not ready for the magic at her beck and call, and she’s not ready for the demonic orders coming to her from the Great Beyond. The first of those orders: make sure Noah’s Ark reaches the same landing point as Shrae’s Ark. After all, now that the monsters have survived their journey, they need something to snack on.”
Plot Concept: Two arks were built to survive the Flood. One was filled with the creatures of the natural world. The other was populated by…everything else.
Now, the monsters of the DARK ARK have beaten Noah’s ark to land, and a new societal order must be created—one based on the rule of monsters. Khalee, a new sorceress, must maintain order amidst the chaos., but her otherworldly masters have a new task for her. She must devise a way to bring Noah’s Ark to the monsters…because the beasts must feed.
