Insexts Year One

A bold, horror-tinged reimagining of Victorian-era sexuality and monstrosity, Insexts Year One launched from AfterShock in 2018. The series transforms two classic literary figures into insect-like creatures bound by a dark, symbiotic love, exploring themes of transformation and identity through visceral, body-horror storytelling. Most associated with writer Marguerite Bennett and artist Ariela Kristantina, this debut issue established a lush, macabre aesthetic that redefines the period drama for modern comics.
