Mark Waid, Ray Fawkes, Szymon Kudranski, Pat Oliffe And More Debut New Comics For Aftershock – Including $1.99 Launches

Aftershock Comics certainly punch above their weight when it comes to announcing comics projects from big name folk. A combination of good people, great professionalism and a venture capita backed page rate? Whatever, it seems to work…

So, alongside the news that Aftershock Comics are now available on ComiXology and Kindle is that digital comics pioneer Mark Waid is creating a new comic for the publisher with Tom Peyer, Captain Kid.

CAPTAIN KID tells the story of a middle-aged comics fan who transofmrs into a teen super-hero. If it happened to you, would you ever change back?

Freaky Flying Friday?

Also coming in April are three new titles from the publisher, and all launching for $1.99.
