Via The Beat, Vault Comics have announced “End After End,” an afterlife fantasy series by writers Tim Daniel and David “DB” Andry, artist Sunando C, colorist Kurt Michael Russell, and letterer Jim Campbell. The book follows Walt Willem, an ordinary man who, after unexpectedly dying, is conscripted into the End After End, an eternal war against a darkness bent on consuming all of existence. The comic, which will debut in December, has an initial planned five-issue run.

Andry, whose previous credits include Vault’s “Resonant,” described the series as being about “struggling against impossible odds,” and living as “minor players in the grand scheme of things, just trying to make a difference in this world. We both want to make our mark on the industry. Not necessarily with sales or awards, but by impacting people with our stories. Walt is us and we are Walt.” He said that Daniel’s “dislike of certain aspects of fantasy really helped to shape ‘End After End.’ There were no fancy wizards, no complicated histories, and no confusing rules governing magic. This was fantasy at the ground level. A war story from the view of a footsoldier. A grunt in the mud.”

Artist Sundando C, who is based in Bangalore, said that when he first began discussing projects at Vault with Tim Daniel (who serves as the company’s EVP Branding & Design), “I told him that I really wanted to work on something with a lot of world-building and design, something huge and epic in scale and with ‘End After End,’ DB, and Tim really delivered. I couldn’t be more excited about all the demands of this story, creating the titular End after End from the ground up and while we’re still working on the art for the first issue, there are things in the scripts for issues 2, 3, 4, 5 and beyond that, I can’t wait to get to.”
