Injection

Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey began Injection at Image Comics in 2015, with color by Jordie Bellaire. A group of brilliant, troubled people created an experiment that has begun to warp the 21st century.

Scientist Maria Kilbride and her former colleagues face consequences that cross scientific, folkloric, and criminal boundaries. The story unfolds as an investigation into their own responsibility.

The series refuses to separate technological invention from cultural history. What the group made behaves like a future system haunted by older stories.

Its genre mixture is purposeful. Horror, crime, and science fiction each reveal a different part of what happens when talented people believe they can force the world to become more interesting.

The Injection turns research into an active, unpredictable pressure on reality. Its creators can diagnose effects but cannot simply withdraw their work.

The premise asks what responsibility survives after an experiment escapes its intended context. Intelligence offers no exemption from accountability.

Shalvey's sharp staging and Bellaire's color make ordinary places feel subtly contaminated. Horror grows from familiar rooms rather than only spectacular transformations.

The visual movement between practical investigation and uncanny intrusion mirrors the book's collision of disciplines.
