About the series
In 2014, J. Michael Straczynski and artist Sid Kotian launched Apocalypse Al at Image Comics, a four-issue miniseries that reimagines the end of the world with a snappy, character-driven twist. The story follows a young woman who inherits a San Francisco-based supernatural detective agency from her missing father, forcing her to navigate a city teeming with monsters, magic, and an impending apocalypse. Straczynski’s sharp dialogue and Kotian’s expressive, kinetic artwork give the series a pulpy, modern noir feel that stands out for its blend of urban fantasy and wry humor. Though short, it’s a compact, memorable entry into Image’s creator-owned lineup, showcasing Straczynski’s knack for inventive world-building.
