Orphan Age

In the wake of a global catastrophe that wiped out every adult on Earth, Orphan Age (2019–present, AfterShock) follows the children left to build a new society from the rubble. Published by AfterShock, this five-issue series is defined by the stark, expressive art of Nuno Plati, whose visuals ground the story’s emotional weight and survivalist tension. It matters as a thoughtful, character-driven examination of youth forced into leadership, exploring how innocence and brutality collide when civilization starts from scratch.
