AfterShock announces new Garth Ennis series Jimmy’s Bastards

January 12, 2017 by Gary Collinson

AfterShock has announced that it is reuniting with award-winning creator Garth Ennis for a new comic book series entitled Jimmy’s Bastards, which is set to debut later in the year.

“AfterShock made working on Dreaming Eagles a great experience,” said Garth Ennis. “I can’t think of a better home for Jimmy’s Bastards. I’m sure Jimmy would agree – as indeed would his bastards.”

Jimmy Regent is Britain’s number one super spy, a devastatingly handsome secret agent with a license to kill and style to match. Sailing effortlessly through mission after mission with wit and panache, defying danger again and again, Jimmy always triumphs and always gets the girl- gets rather a lot of girls, actually. But now a new and particularly dangerous secret organization has arisen, their sights fixed firmly on Jimmy’s head. Two hundred young men and women in ultimate physical condition, trained in all the arts of deception and death, each bearing a curious facial resemblance to… Jimmy? Every one united with one terrible aim: Get Daddy.

Originally published January 12, 2017. Updated April 16, 2018.
