Shoplifters Will Be Liquidated

In this taut five-issue series from AfterShock (2019–2020), writer Patrick Kindlon and artist Stefano Simeone craft a near-future thriller where a desperate young woman’s petty theft spirals into a violent confrontation with an unhinged, automated security system. The story examines the chilling collision of economic inequality and unchecked technology, all rendered in Simeone’s stark, kinetic artwork. A compact, thought-provoking entry in the modern indie comics landscape.
