Alters was a superhero comic book series created and written by Paul Jenkins and drawn by Leila Leiz. It was published by AfterShock Comics from September 2016. The series concerns the emergence of a new Alteration (genetic mutations commonly referred to as Alters) named Chalice, who is navigating both the trials of becoming a superhero and - as alter-ego Charlie - is transitioning from male to female.[1] The premise of the series gathered considerable mainstream attention ahead of the book's launch.[2]
