Garth Ennis and Russ Braun are re-teaming for Jimmy's Little Bastards, a new three-issue series spinning off of Jimmy's Bastards from Aftershock.

Garth Ennis and Russ Braun are re-teaming for Jimmy's Little Bastards, a three-issue miniseries that serves as a sequel to Aftershock Comic's Jimmy's Bastards.

Jimmy's Little Bastards releases in August from Aftershock. Joining Ennis and Braun for the project are colorist John Kalisz and letterer Rob Steen, with cover art by Andy Clarke and an incentive cover by John McCrea. The series welcomes fans back into the world of Jimmy's Bastards while also bringing about some new changes to some familiar characters. The synopsis for the first issue reads, "After the shattering events of his last adventure, Jimmy is on extended leave from British Intelligence—sliding slowly into middle age, with carpet slippers, tragic sweater and cup of cocoa to match. The formerly sexist superspy is even reevaluating his attitude to women! His daughter (Don’t say it! Don’t you dare say it!) Nancy is taking up the slack in fine style, cutting a bloody swathe through the Regent rogues’ gallery. But a mysterious message starts Jimmy looking into his family’s murky past…where he finds a clue to a strange and deadly new danger."

"Jimmy Regent is the U.K.’s number one superspy- or was," Ennis said of the new series. "But after a nasty incident in which his many, many illegitimate children came to get him back for deserting them, and inflicted a world-class case of PTSD on the super-suave secret agent, Jimmy has entered semi-retirement. Now his daughter Nancy has taken over the battle against Britain’s most dangerous enemies- not that anyone asked her, of course.”

Ennis also teased that the series will bring one of Jimmy's relatives, Roger, into the action. "Roger is the black sheep of a family of black sheep, far worse than Jimmy ever was," Ennis explained. "But now some peculiar skullduggery in 19th century Africa has rebounded on the Regents, and an old enemy is using their own power against them. Jimmy’s Bastards were bad enough- Jimmy’s Little Bastards are a nightmare beyond description.” Additional features in Jimmy's Little Bastards include whale-smuggling, a "highly triggering TV show" and more. "One scene in particular involves a submarine and some hardcore pornography- if anyone does see that one coming, I suggest they get out of the way as quickly as possible,” Ennis said.

Jimmy's Bastards launched in 2017 from Ennis, Braun and Aftershock. Ennis and Braun have additionally worked together on The Boys and The Night Witches​​​​​​ at Dynamite Entertainment. Ennis has also worked on such titles as Marvel's The Punisher, Vertigo's Preacher and more, while Braun has worked on DC's Batman, Swamp Thing and others.

Jimmy's Little Bastards #1 goes on sale August 17 from Aftershock.
