Before becoming the Marvel super star scribe of titles like Venom and Absolute Carnage, Donny Cates joined forces with artist Geoff Shaw to release the Texas-sized fantasy God Country in 2017. In God Country, an elderly widower's mental and physical health are restored to him upon discovering an enchanted sword in a devastating tornado's eye. An ethereal threat flocks to west-Texas, forcing our protagonist to face otherworldly entities while learning the true meaning of family.

In the Fall of 2018, Legendary Entertainment and Aftershock Media optioned God Country for cinematic production. Cates will be developing the film as screenwriter. This will be an interesting collaboration as the God Country film will mark the first time Aftershock Media (owned by Aftershock Comics) has developed a property they do not own.

God Country is currently available in trade paperback.
