Dead Kings

In Dead Kings (2019–present, AfterShock), a single-issue series, writer Steve Orlando and artist Matthew Dow Smith craft a taut, self-contained tale set in a near-future where the last remnants of a collapsed monarchy face a final, brutal reckoning. This compact story matters for its focused, high-concept exploration of power, legacy, and violence, delivered by a creative team known for sharp, character-driven work.
