Injection #7

Injection #7 opens its second arc with a cover by Declan Shalvey that is quietly unnerving in the best way — a lone figure hunched under a work lamp amid industrial machinery, while a vast mass of dark, branching tendrils looms overhead, swallowing the darkness above. Jordie Bellaire's burnt-amber palette makes the mundane workspace feel both intimate and deeply wrong, that warmth below doing nothing to reassure against whatever is spreading in the shadows. Warren Ellis and Shalvey's series continues to be one of 2016's most atmospheric science-fiction thrillers, and this issue's cover alone earns your attention.
