Injection 1

“A precise dissection of folklore by a team of the sharpest blades in comics. A bleakly inverted Planetary. A delight.” —Kieron Gillen (THE WICKED + THE DIVINE)

Five ambitious, brilliant, crazy people poisoned the 21st Century. They drifted apart, following their own eccentric specialties. And then, one by one, they realised how deep the poison went, and how they’d broken the planet. INJECTION is the story of a team of geniuses who ended the world, and then tried to save it.
