Phil Hester On The Darkness In 'Blood Blister' & 'Shipwreck'
Blood Blister, the new horror comic from writer Phil Hester and artist Tony Harris debuting this week from AfterShock, tells the story of Brandon Hull, a man whose soul becomes so corrupted by the banal evil of the superficial choices he makes that it begins to manifest on his previously flawless physical form, launching him into a hellish world of monstrous evil. Hester is also currently drawing Shipwreck, an AfterShock comic by writer Warren Ellis about a man who finds himself in a surreal wasteland after (possibly) surviving a crash. ComicsAlliance sat down with Phil Hester to talk about horror, collaborating on comics as both a writer and an artist, and the nature of evil in the world today.

AfterShock Announces 'Shipwreck' From Ellis And Hester
Phil Hester is one of my favorite creators in comics. No matter what he's working on, whether it's writing the working-class magic epic that is Mythic, drawing a classically underrated run on Swamp Thing, or working as a cartoonist on his mind-bending The Wretch, number one with a bullet on the list of comics you probably haven't read that you definitely should, he brings a level of skill to the table that makes it all worth checking out. And when he's going deep into a new high concept, it's the best. So when AfterShock Comics announces that he's teaming up with Warren Ellis --- who, as you may already know, is no stranger to high concept titles himself --- then it's definitely something to get excited about. It's called Shipwreck, and just going from today's announcement, it's going to be a weird one.
