Life in the "Afterworld"
MySpace TV has started showing installments of a series called "Afterworld," which is about a man who awakes to find 99.9 percent of the population gone, and technology dead. "Afterworld" has a "Y: The Last Man" vibe to it and should appeal to comic fans, because in reality, it really is a series of various photographs used as panels.
"This is not Disney animation, to be sure, but neither is it "South Park." It's more like a strange series of digitally manipulated photographs. And that's where it all clicks: 'Afterworld' is a comic book. It has a far-fetched story, frankly clichéd speech, a solitary hero, Marvel-style foreshortening and images that hardly move. 'Afterworld' is the work of authors who think in panels."
The series will have 130 installments, and right now, 13 are up on the site. I am interested to see where this series goes, and now that "Y" is ending, it should be enough to keep post-apocalyptic comic fans busy.
