AfterShock Comics won the New Publisher of the Year Diamond Gem Award in 2017.[10]

The label attracted attention in 2016 when it published Paul Jenkins' comic Alters, featuring the character Chalice, touted as the first transgender superhero.[11][12] In a column for The Mary Sue, transgender activist Jes Grobman dismissed Alters as "cliche".[13] Other critics were more positive; one noted that "[t]he visuals are beautiful and deserve attention, while the story looks to be addressing something avoided in American society."[14]
