InSEXts

In Victorian London, a married couple of entomologists discovers that the transformative power of insect metamorphosis can be harnessed for far more than scientific study—granting them literal monstrous strength and a means to exact bloody revenge on those who have wronged them. This lushly illustrated, 13-issue horror series from AfterShock, written by Marguerite Bennett with evocative art by Ariela Kristantina, uses its body-horror premise to explore themes of queer love, trauma, and liberation. A distinctive, visceral take on the period revenge story, InSEXts stands out for its unflinching embrace of the grotesque as a vehicle for empowerment.
