Aftermath is a super hero comic book imprint published by Devil's Due Publishing. A brainchild of Josh Blaylock, the new imprint aims to create a new, accessible, continuity-free universe. Although it respects the old comic book traditions, the new imprint borrows quite a bit from pulp fiction, various sub-cultures and modern-day pop culture.
Aftermath premiered in 2004 with four comic book titles: DEFEX, BREAKDOWN, THE BLADE OF KUMORI, and INFANTRY.
