A cynical, techno-occult fever dream where five broken geniuses try to clean up the apocalyptic mess they accidentally unleashed.
What it feels like
Reading this graphic novel feels like stepping into a cynical, techno-occult fever dream where the bleeding-edge future and ancient folklore violently collide. The pacing is brisk and relentless, dragging you through a paranoid, dread-soaked atmosphere dripping with dry wit and eerie supernatural horror. It is a story steeped in the hubris of genius, focusing on the heavy, lingering guilt of five brilliant but deeply broken people trying to fix a world they deliberately poisoned. The dialogue is razor-sharp, packed with esoteric jargon and dark humor that perfectly complements the stark, moody artwork. It will absolutely delight readers who crave weird fiction, corporate espionage, and watching messy, hyper-competent characters navigate the apocalyptic consequences of their own arrogance.

About the book
"Once upon a time, there were five crazy people and they poisoned the 21st century. Now they have to deal with the corrosion to try to save us all from a world becoming too weird to support human life. Injection... is science fiction, tales of horror, strange crime fiction, techno-thriller, and ghost story all at the same time. A serialized sequence of graphic novels about how loud and strange the world is getting, about the wild future and the haunted past all crashing into the present day at once, and about five eccentric geniuses dealing with the paranormal and numinous as well as the growing weight of what they did to the planet with the Injection." -- Page [4] cover.
