Pestilence

A brief but potent two-issue horror series from AfterShock, Pestilence (2018–2019) reimagines the Black Death as a supernatural plague that awakens the dead, turning medieval Europe into a battlefield against a ravenous undead horde. Written by Frank Tieri with visceral art by Oleg Okunev, the story follows a hardened knight and a mysterious woman as they confront a necromantic evil that threatens to consume the continent. Though short, it stands as a tight, atmospheric entry in AfterShock's early lineup, offering a grimly inventive take on historical apocalypse.
