Afterlife Inc.

Afterlife Inc. is the acclaimed comic from writer and creator Jon Lock - one of the most celebrated independent titles of the UK comics industry.

When corporate con-artist Jack Fortune’s life comes to an abrupt and brutal end, he discovers a business opportunity on a previously unimaginable scale. A mysterious Calamity has struck the afterlife, wiping the ruling body from existence and plunging the Empyrean - the great golden city of the dead - into chaos. The time is ripe for modernisation.

With the vision, the business-smarts and a ragtag collection of allies behind him, Jack strives to reinvent the afterlife as a modern-day corporate entity. Establishing a new business is always challenging, but now Jack must balance the demands of a free market with rampaging archangels, a misplaced God and the dark secrets at the heart of their world.

This may be the job he was born to die for, but has Jack’s reach finally exceeded his grasp?

Filled me with delicious anticipation that was immediately fulfilled and more. Think of it as something along the lines of Warren Ellis’ Planetary, alongside the better bits of Hellblazer.
