Out of the Blue: The Complete Series

In 2021, AfterShock launched this single-issue series from writer Garth Ennis and artist Keith Burns, a self-contained story that distills the creators’ signature blend of dark humor and gritty war-zone drama into a tight, punchy package. Set against a backdrop of military conflict, it follows a pair of soldiers whose routine patrol takes an unexpected turn when they encounter something far stranger than the enemy. This standalone comic matters as a showcase of Ennis and Burns’ collaborative chemistry, delivering a complete, no-filler tale that stands apart from ongoing arcs.
