In this issue, writer Jill Blotevogel (Scream: The TV Series, Shining Vale) teams up with artists Lisa Sterle (Witchblood) and Marley Zarcone (Shade the Changing Girl), colorist Fabiana Mascolo (Firefly), and letterer Pat Brosseau (Manifest Destiny) to present a standalone horror story about a different kind of sibling bonding. Afterschool #3 also features a striking cover by Veronica Fish (Archie, Sabrina the Teenage Witch).
