LIFE AFTER (2014)

"In an infinite city built on infinite sadness, there is one man capable of breaking free. He will go through Heaven and Hell to save us all. Literally. A fantastical coming of age journey through the afterlife and beyond from Joshua Hale Fialkov (THE BUNKER, THE ULTIMATES) and breakout artist Gabo, with covers by Nick Pitarra (THE MANHATTAN PROJECTS, THE RED WING)."

"The afterlife is just beginning for Jude and his new friend, ERNEST F'ING HEMINGWAY, but the powers that be come to realize that there's something very wrong in Purgatory. From Joshua Hale Failkov, the critically-acclaimed egomaniac behind THE BUNKER, and the humble and handsome breakout artist Gabo. "

"The afterlife is even more perilous than Jude and his new pal Ernest Hemingway thought. Enter deadly angels, forgotten souls, and that most dastardly element of all - bureaucracy. Added Bonus: the complete origin of the universe in three pages! From the twisted mind behind THE BUNKER and the nimble hands of breakout artist Gabo."

"Upsetting the system has dire consequences in the afterlife, as Jude and Hemingway soon find out. Between underhanded deals upstairs and the threat of seraphim and wraiths down on the ground, the odds are quickly stacking against them. Will the return of a familiar face (and handkerchief) mean the arrival of an ally, or yet another danger? From the writer of THE BUNKER and breakout artist Gabo."

"Jude and Ernest have been captured by the guys upstairs, and find that Nettie, the woman that Jude thought he had saved, is imprisoned right there with them. But capture may be the least of their worries when they finally come face-to-face with the Consultant. Will they be able to break free and set things right? The conclusion of the epic first arc by Joshua Hale Fialkov (THE BUNKER), and breakout artist Gabo!"

"Jude, Hemingway, and Nettie have managed to escape both the Consultant and their endless pit of a prison. However, they soon find themselves lost and in danger of capture once again, this time by a militant gang of kids stuck in Purgatory. Meanwhile, Tom Foreman (Chief Engineer of Purgatory and Adjacent Plains) receives an intriguing offer from his counterpart, and the Consultant has a spiritual awakening of the fluffy kind."

"Nettie's reunion with her baby daughter isn't all she'd hoped--Essie's grown six years in a few moments apart, and now she doesn't even remember her mother. Not to mention that she's the leader of a rebel kid army and hangs out with a giant bunny god all day. Meanwhile, Jude and Hemingway are separated from the group and end up sunning somewhere a little too warm, and the Foreman deals with the repercussions of losing Jude in some not-so-pleasant ways. BONUS: A celestial coup d'etat!"

"Jude and Hemingway have been sucked into Hell... and it's surprisingly nice. While Hemingway is seduced by the glamor and fun of the underworld (plus his cat is there!), Jude is whisked away to meet with a devil. When it all goes south, though, it's up to Nettie and Essie to get them out."

"The Consultant brings Essie, Nettie, and the kid army into Hell to save Jude and Hemingway. However, the Consultant's new love-and-flowers attitude melts quickly in the hellish heat, and Essie soon has a fight on her hands. It's up to Ometochtli, the last of the Old Gods, to tip the scales in their favor... but they might also be tipping their hand."

"The war begins! Essie and her army begin their bloody takeover of the afterlife, but are halted by an interesting proposition from the Foreman of Heaven and the CEO of Hell. Is there a way to avert bloodshed while still toppling the system? Find out in this cataclysmic finale to The Life After's second arc!"
