A BAD BATCH FANZINE

ABOUT THE PROJECT


The Aftermath is a non-profit / for charity zine centered around a post-apocalyptic zombie AU of The Bad Batch. This zine will focus on a loose story based on the existing plot from the source media - and will follow the characters on their journey across hostile terrains to find peace and sanctuary. A story not only about survival, loss and endurance - but about connection, trust, and healing, too. We aim for this zine to allow every contributor to build upon and add to with elements of their own.This project comes from an appreciation of both apocalyptic media and The Bad Batch. Taking influence from a range of shows, games, and comics, our team of contributors hope to share this project of love with the community.
