AfterShock Comics was established in the United States in 2015, with Joe Pruett identified in public materials as its founder. From its entry into the market, the brand focused on original comic-book series and creator-owned works, covering genres such as horror, science fiction, crime, fantasy, and superheroes. Its publishing approach differed from that of major comics companies centered on long-running characters and shared universes by placing greater emphasis on new story concepts and creator participation.
