Morals have eroded. Your kids are out of control. Skybound's new horror anthology is going to teach those teens a lesson.
In the debut issue, JUSTIN BENSON & AARON MOREHEAD (Marvel Studios' Moon Knight) and GREG HINKLE present a standalone cautionary tale soaked in blood and tears.
Nora's anxiety prevented her from approaching high school with any degree of confidence-that is, until she adopted Janie, an emotional support dog with a winning smile and a killer secret. But just how far will Nora go to keep her new life?

Jun 08, 2022Hinkle delivers a beautifully distinctive and stylized visual experience. The characters look great. The horror elements are visually scary and I love the distinctive way Janie is depicted in relation to the other characters. Read Full Review

Jun 07, 2022All in all, this first segment of Skybound's anthology is chilling, cinematic, and very promising for what's to come. Afterschool is markedly labeled as a "teen horror anthology, so I am curious to see what else will be explored. Anxiety and confidence are at the forefront here in 'Spineless,' and there is a metric ton of things teens go through that can be discussed in fiction. If the storytelling and framing are anything like what we read in issue one, we can bet that what comes next will be scarily good. Read Full Review

Sequential Planet - Marcus Orchard
Jun 04, 2022Afterschool is an anthology series, so we likely won't see much more of these characters. Still, the creative team managed to successfully tell a compelling short story that's excellent for fans of body horror. Read Full Review
