Betrothed

In this AfterShock series running from 2018 onward, writer and artist Steve Uy crafts a five-issue fantasy tale where a young woman, promised in marriage to a mysterious and powerful stranger, discovers her betrothed is far from human—and that their union holds the key to a hidden world of magic and danger. Uy's lush, anime-influenced artwork brings a fairy-tale atmosphere to this standalone story, which explores themes of identity, destiny, and forbidden love. A concise, self-contained gem from the publisher's early years, Betrothed showcases Uy's singular vision as both writer and artist.
