‘We Live’ Sequel Launches From AfterShock This Summer
by Olly MacNamee
Tuesday morning. That often means a new comic book announcement from AfterShock. And they did not disappoint with the news of new series We Live: Era of the Pallodions from Roy and Inaki Miranda, Eva de la Cruz and Dave Sharpe.
The team return to the world they previously explored in the sold out and critical hit, We Live, previously.
The Miranda bothers take it in turns to tells all about their return to this fertile world:
“WE LIVE was conceived to start when issue 5 ends. When my brother and I were crafting each issue we really enjoyed knowing where this arc was going. This first arc was really conceived as a prologue. The story, the characters and their destiny gain their true purpose at the end of this first season. And it was risky, because we depended on the sales numbers, we depended on the readers following us to the real “starting line”; to the point where we could open the door to this new universe. If the numbers wouldn’t had followed us, we would have missed the chance to really start this story. So the feeling is bigger than excitement, it’s feeling that the dream we want to fulfill really starts now”. – Roy Miranda
“There’s also a feeling of gratitude to the readers and a big relief for having made it to this point” – Inaki Miranda.
As for what to expect, Roy Miranda gave a glimpse of the future and the sequel:
“We erase a lot of boundaries at the end of issue 5. We write new game rules, with as much possibilities as our imagination allows us. But the essence of WE LIVE will continue. You will still hear a voice on the back of your heads saying “don’t get too comfortable, because everything is possible, anything can happen; for better or worse.”
Look out for We Live: Era of the Pallodions #1 coming late summer (date tbc) from AfterShock Comics.
