Overview

“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.

INJECTION HC 1 contains the first three volumes of the acclaimed series by New York Times bestselling writer Warren Ellis, Eagle Award-winning artist Declan Shalvey, and Eisner Award-winning colorist Jordie Bellaire.

Editorial Reviews

Years ago, a gifted scientist, a brash hacker, the world's greatest detective, a secret agent, and a man who may or may not be a wizard formed a think tank. After predicting that technological innovation was on the verge of stagnation, they combined their specialties to develop an artificial intelligence and set it loose into the Internet in hopes of inspiring a more interesting future. For all their talents and best intentions, they didn't foresee how horribly their experiment would turn out. Now they're tasked with investigating and foiling their creation as it runs amok, disrupting the world financial system, inspiring acts of terror, and maybe even awakening long-hidden supernatural terrors. Author Ellis (The Wild Storm, Vol. 2) and illustrator Shalvey (Savage Town), with colorist Bellaire (Redlands), work together wonderfully in presenting the adventures of these diverse, flawed, quirky characters who are forced to cope with the unexpected consequences of cutting-edge technology. VERDICT Breakneck action, mystery, magic, and thoughtful sf collide in this omnibus collection of three previously released volumes, rounded out by pages of the author's script and the artist's sketchbook.
