This April, writer Joe Harris (“Great Pacific,” “The X-Files”) and artist Sebastián Piriz will guide a group of disaster tourists through the Fukushima Exclusion Zone and set them at odds with ghostly samurai. That’s the premise of AfterShock’s new series “Disaster Inc.,” a supernatural tale of exploitative tourism.

“I’ve [been] interested in the concept of underground tourism for a while,” said Harris, in a press release announcing the project. “It probably started with stories of people bungeeing off the Brooklyn Bridge at night, or massive raves deep inside the New York City subway tunnels, or the guys who climbed the World Trade Center Freedom Tower before it opened to the public and filmed their BASE jump from the very top.”

“But disaster tourism is an even more problematic kind of thrill-seeking,” continued Harris. “It’s exploitation of tragedy by people with the means to tour the ruins of Chernobyl, or post-Katrina New Orleans, or a recently abandoned ISIS camp and (usually) return safely.”

These particular disaster tourists’ safety is in doubt, as they’ll contend with not just the fallout of the Fukushima Daiichi power plant’s 2011 meltdown, but also some of Japan’s most loyal undead defenders.

“Much of the area around Fukushima will never be habitable by humans again while, at the same time, nature has strangely reclaimed it. Abandoned villages sit overgrown with vegetation. Rusted cars lie abandoned on forgotten roads. Packs of animals run free without people around, oblivious to the radiation they spread,” said Harris. “But that’s not all that’s in the soil and the water. The bones of generations of some of the fiercest fighters the world has ever known are down there too. And what I’m most excited about is the supernatural twist on things as these ghost warriors return and resume their bloody calling.”
