BLISS published by Image Comics

Art by Caitlin Yarsky

There’s a drug called Bliss wiping away memories in Feral City. A good-hearted young man, overwhelmed by a deathly sick child and distraught wife, makes a deal to become the personal hitman to three gods, killing those in their way and sending memories down the river of Oblivion in exchange for his family’s well-being. Breaking Bad meets Neil Gaiman’s Sandman in an urban fantasy unlike any you’ve ever seen.

“Lewis’ writing is so so good… Yarsky’s art is in top form… a surprisingly emotional story with a great and unique concept at its core.” – Comics the Gathering

“Beautifully written. Sean Lewis does an incredible job getting the reader invested in the story and characters, and winning our sympathy for the situation… Fans of urban fantasy, stories of the bond between parent and child, and action will enjoy this new series immensely.”- Outright Geekery

“Mesmerizing… reads like the love child of Sandman and 100 Bullets… Lewis’s script is emotionally impactful and brilliantly weird… Caitlin Yarsky’s visual direction is wondrously alluring…Image has another phenomenon on their hands.”- Monkeys Fighting Robots

“A grim, desperate, captivating journey with the most achingly organic artwork in comics today.” – Clayton Cowles (Eisner Nominated, Star Wars, Batman)

“BLISS is a dark and tender story of love, dedication, guilt and consequences. Compelling writing from Sean Lewis, beautifully and meticulously realised by Caitlin Yarsky.” – Declan Shalvey (Injection, Bog Bodies)

“BLISS is a lighthouse in a world gone dark – a guide through the abyss, about how far we can fall and how to climb back up. Lewis and Yarsky are a creative team you need to follow.” – Joseph Keatinge (Writer, Shutter, Ringside)

The critically lauded series returns for its second arc. In this allegory, Red is a young woman tasked with ridding her home of men who have donned animal pelts that turn them into woman-hunting wolves. After her first war with these wolves she returns to bring more women to safety and slaughter more wayward men. But when she meets a group of women who challenge her ideas and core self she has to question the person she herself has become. A fascinating look at misogyny, war and forgiveness.

Women are going missing in the City of Lost Girls, a border town in the desert.

CLANKILLERS published by Aftershock Comics

Like the demented stepchild of Game of Thrones, Braveheart and Mark Millar’s Kick Ass, CLANKILLERS brings readers into an ancient Ireland filled with clans, mystics, warriors and monsters of mythic proportion!

Finola has a problem-her father is losing his mind. All the old king cares about is power…and Finola thinks power is stupid. Finola thinks her vicious older sisters are stupid. Finola thinks the royal court is stupid, and above all she thinks the clans across the country are stupid. So she makes a plan with her good friend Cillian: Let’s kill all the clans. And then, we go for dad.

“4 Stars…one of the most different books on the market today, Lewis’s genius is that he is able to inform the narrative with enough Irish lore and lingo to immerse readers in his world without drowning them. It’s a rare feat.”              – Comic Crusaders

“9 out of 10… This will satisfy everyone. It has action, story, great characters, and mythology. Most importantly, it will keep you engaged.”- Adventures in Poor Taste

“With Clan Killers, the publishers have another base hit.”- Comic Bastards

“Berserk, Bizarre, And Brilliant”- Comic Con

“Clan Killers darkly grabbing AfterShock series. The premise is interesting, the characters are awful, tortured, yet engaging figures, and the artwork is near-perfect.”- Bleeding Cool
