Virus

Virus crashed onto the scene in 2009, born from the singular imagination of Erik Larsen in the pages of Savage Dragon — one of Image Comics' most enduring creator-owned titles. A Modern Age creature through and through, this character carved out a niche in Larsen's sprawling Chicago-set universe, sharing those wild, kinetic pages with heavy hitters like Dragon, Malcolm Dragon, and Angel Murphy. Fourteen catalog appearances across nearly a decade speak to a villain (or force) that Larsen clearly found worth returning to, and any character who keeps that kind of dangerous company in Savage Dragon is absolutely worth a closer look for fans of Image's bold, uncompromising storytelling.
