EXCLUSIVE: Gaze into the future with WE LIVE #1

We Live #1 — the new series from AfterShock Comics that’s due to launch this October — is a story about the year 2084, during which the world has changed due to a series of calamities.

Given the state of the world, comics is rich with great dystopian storytelling and this book looks to be a new worthy addition. It’s from the writing team of The Miranda Brothers, with art specifically by Inaki Miranda, colors by Eva de la Cruz, and letterer Dave Sharpe. The first issue is slated to hit on October 14.

And today The Beat has the honor of sharing an exclusive preview with our readers. You can find the solicit information for the forthcoming comic below, along with a set of four interior pages…enjoy!

The year is 2084 and the world has changed. Wracked by calamities and crawling with monsters, the last remaining humans face a dangerous existence.

And now, the Earth has been sent a message from the deepest reaches of space – a dark countdown to the extinction of all humanity. But there is hope! Five thousand children will be rescued by these mysterious message-senders.

This is the journey of Hototo, one of the lucky five thousand – but only if his teenage sister, Tala, can safely deliver him to the nearest Beacon before time runs out.
