Exodus: The Life After

In the wake of a mass suicide, the afterlife becomes a bureaucratic nightmare in this darkly philosophical series from Oni Press. Writer Joshua Hale Fialkov and artist Gabo reimagine heaven and hell as a crumbling, Kafkaesque institution, where a dead man named Jude wakes up to find his soul trapped in a purgatorial office building. Over ten issues, the story unfolds as a surreal noir mystery, questioning faith, identity, and the nature of existence itself. This 2015–2016 run stands out for its inventive, unsettling vision of the afterlife, blending existential dread with sharp, humanist storytelling.
