Join the Future

Join the Future (2021–present, AfterShock) is a single-issue comic that explores a near-future world reshaped by artificial intelligence and societal collapse. Written by Zack Kaplan and illustrated by Piotr Kowalski, this debut issue sets up a tense narrative about a young woman navigating a city where AI has become both savior and threat. As a standalone opening salvo from AfterShock, it matters for its timely, tech-driven premise and the creative team’s knack for high-concept sci-fi.
