History AfterTheEnd / ComicBooks

* ''ComicBook/TheJetsons'': With a mix of climate change, the Hanlon Meteor striking and seismic activity, the majority of the planet's land had since been flooded, forcing what remained of humanity to flee into Earth's orbit.

* ''ComicBook/{{Storm|Don Lawrence}}'': the main character is transported to a far future where civilization has fallen and rebuilt several times, and is currently quite primitive. He helps rebuild, and then promptly time travels ''again'' to a yet further future where society has again fallen.

** "ComicBook/TheUnknownLegionnaire": The Legion of Super-Heroes travels to a planet which had been settled by an alien race called the Llorn a long time ago. A sequence of brutal climatic changes, violent quakes and enviromental changes caused by a lengthy cycle of sunspots brought the colony down. Their original city was destroyed by super-storms, and their second underground city was torn apart by an earthquake. At the end, the Llorn were forced to leave the planet, leaving crumbling, empty ruins in their wake. However, the world's original inhabitants, called the Proteans, survived thanks to their shape-shifting abilities (a final gift of the Llorn's science to ensure their species' survival).

*** Hex actually emerged in a separate Post-Crisis apocalypse that was confirmed to be survivable by later accounts. OMAC was later retconned to be the prequel to this world, while Atomic Knights and Hercules Unbound were majorly retgonned by later accounts.

* The ComicBook/LutherArkwright story ''For a Few Gallons More'' in parallel 02.79.10 is set in a world where civilisation collapsed after a bacteria with a psychedelic effect was released after an attack on the research institute. The only people who survived the prolonged and massive psychedelic experiences where those already used to psychedelics.

* ''[[ComicBook/StormDonLawrence Storm]]'': the main character is transported to a far future where civilization has fallen and rebuilt several times, and is currently quite primitive. He helps rebuild, and then promptly time travels ''again'' to a yet further future where society has again fallen.
* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'':

* ''ComicBook/VForVendetta'' is set in a world that was almost completely destroyed by a nuclear war, presumably only the British Islands are still intact; it's mentioned at one point that "there is no Africa any more".
* {{ComicBook/Vampirella}} has a variation similar to Superman above, since her planet Drakulon was subjected to severe droughts that evaporated the oceans of blood and destroyed the civilization of her world. Later comics would depict possible post-apocalyptic futures where Earth was taken over by vampires and demons, and the 2017 relaunch published by Dynamite Entertainment takes place a thousand years into the future where Vampirella remained in hibernation for centuries only to wake up in a bizarre, cyberpunk world.

** The DC comic miniseries ''Me and Joe Priest'' postulated a lower-key version of ''Y'', with all human males (save the eponymous cleric) and most human females losing the ability to sire children. Much like ''Children of Men'', the population largely gets older and older and waits to die.

* ''ComicBook/OldManLogan'' takes place in an alternate timeline where all the Supervillains banded together and took over, turning the world into a wasteland.

* ''ComicBook/TheWalkingDead'', and the [[Series/TheWalkingDead TV series]] based off of it, take place in a world where a ZombieApocalypse has caused modern society to collapse, leaving only scattered pockets of survivors. As time goes by, however, they start banding together in settlements to begin rebuilding.

* ''ComicBook/BatmanLastKnightOnEarth'' follows a clone of Batman has he transverses a world where humanity turned their back on their heroes, the Justice League is gone, Wonder Woman and a few others are left to try to rescue survivors, the survivors live in fear of a despot named [[BigBad Omega]], and [[spoiler:Omega himself is a FallenHero: the original Batman.]]

* ''ComicBook/OldManLogan'' is a Marvel story that takes place in an alternate timeline where all the Supervillains banded together and took over, turning the world into a wasteland.

* ''ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog'':

** ''Comicbook/{{Kingdom}}'' takes place after most of humanity has been wiped out by a race of BigCreepyCrawlies known only as Them, and the majority of the survivors are {{Human Popsicle}}s in Antarctica (and possibly New Zealand).

* Every Franchise/{{Superman}} story, perhaps especially those dealing with other survivors, such as Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}, the floating city of Argo, the bottle city of Kandor, etc., is set AfterTheEnd of Krypton. In ''Comicbook/KryptonNoMore'', Superman fought a villain that planned to cause a nuclear holocaust and rule the post-apocalyptic world.

* ''ComicBook/ScoobyApocalypse'': Not technically after, but ''during'' the end, as [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Scooby and the gang]] find themselves at the beginning of everything.

** In the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series by Archie, the world of Mobius is actually Earth ten-thousand years later, and Mobians the result of the alien Xorda's gene bombs - which wiped out most humans, mutated most of the surviving humans into Overlanders, and created the Chaos Emeralds - mixing human DNA with animals.

%%* ''ComicBook/TheWalkingDead'', and the TV series based off of it.

* In the ''[[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' series by Archie, the world of Mobius is actually Earth ten-thousand years later, and Mobians the result of the alien Xorda's gene bombs - which wiped out most humans, mutated most of the surviving humans into Overlanders, and created the Chaos Emeralds - mixing human DNA with animals.

** Kamandi's world later became the setting for a bevy of other post-apocalyptic DC comics that got lumped in with it when they were incorporated into Franchise/TheDCU, including the Atomic Knights, Hercules Unbound, and Hex.
