Of all the things we find ourselves missing during this summer, it’s the opportunity to meet and talk with fans at conventions that particularly stings. Not much any of us can do about it during this decidedly “un-conventional” season – but, hell, we’re gonna try!

This Sunday, July 12, at 1:00pm eastern, join AfterShock publisher, Joe Pruett, as he sits down for a virtual one-on-one chat with none other than master storyteller, Garth Ennis, in the first of our series of summertime AfterShock CONversations. Hosted on our AfterShock Comics Facebook Page, this is a rare opportunity to dive deeper into the making of such fan-favorite hit series as JIMMY’S BASTARDS and A WALK THROUGH HELL, as well as the original graphic novel OUT OF THE BLUE (on sale later this month in an exclusive deluxe-sized hardcover edition). Got a question for Garth? Email it to us at instagram@aftershock.ninja and it just might be featured during the CONversation. See you there! HERE’S WHAT’S SHAKING THIS WEEK AT YOUR COMIC SHOP

OUT OF THE BLUE: THE COMPLETE SERIES A War is a Difficult Thing to Kill Both volumes of the gripping Original Graphic Novel in one 152-page deluxe hardcover edition. The Second World War is almost over, but no one seems to have told the Germans – as Royal Air Force pilot Jamie McKenzie finds out when he’s assigned to deadly shipping strikes along the enemy coast. Flying the Mosquito fighter-bomber against heavily armed targets is dangerous enough at the best of times, but after incurring the wrath of his vengeful commanding officer, Jamie is assigned the most unpopular navigator in the unit – not to mention the least reliable aircraft. Worse still, the commander’s sights are firmly set on Jamie’s beautiful young wife, Beth. Writer GARTH ENNIS (A WALK THROUGH HELL, Preacher, The Boys) and artist KEITH BURNS (War Stories) reunite after the success of their series Johnny Red, presenting another tale of World War Two aerial combat: featuring skies black with flak and enemy fighters, nail-biting low-level action, and the dark humor of men whose lives can be snatched away at any second... OUT OF THE BLUE. “...a great, almost docudrama snapshot... highlights a level of pain and brutality that you don’t always expect to see in flyboy stories.” – Doom Rocket ON SALE THIS MONTH CLICK COVER FOR THE BEAT PREVIEW Free Comic Book Day is Now Free Comic Book SUMMER! AfterShock’s DARK ARK: INSTINCT, an all-new original story by series creator Cullen Bunn, with art by Antonio Fuso and cover by Juan Doe, debuts during Week 2 on Wednesday, July 22nd.
