Snyder and Lemire Team for A.D. AFTER DEATH BOOK ONE Out This Week

A.D. AFTER DEATH is something that should most definitely be on your radar this week if it isn’t already. Writer Scott Snyder (BATMAN) and artist Jeff Lemire (DESCENDER) team up to deliver a powerful and personal story revolving around life and death. More specifically, what it would be like if humanity cured death. Breaking traditional format, A.D. AFTER DEATH is a marriage between comics, prose, and painting creating what will hopefully be a unique and creative project. 

What if we found a cure for death? Two of comics’ most acclaimed creators, SCOTT SNYDER (WYTCHES, Batman, American Vampire) and JEFF LEMIRE (DESCENDER, Moon Knight, Sweet Tooth) unite to create a three-part epic like no other, set in a future where a genetic cure for death has been found. Years after the discovery, one man starts to question everything, leading him on a mind-bending journey that will bring him face-to-face with his past and his own mortality. A unique combination of comics, prose, and illustration.

The series will be released in three 80-page volumes with BOOK ONE releasing this week. I have a feeling that the creators put their heart and soul into this experience as the subject matter can tread into some pretty personal territory. It will be interesting to watch this story unfold and using multiple storytelling formats to deliver the message is a great idea. If you’re in the mood for something different and maybe a little bit deeper than what you’re use to, I think A.D. will be worth your while. Keep an eye out for this one as it hits shelves this week.
