The Infected: Scarab #1

In "Metamorphosis," Jaime’s life takes a terrifying turn when he’s infected by The Batman Who Laughs, triggering a grotesque transformation into Scarab, a sinister echo of Blue Beetle. As Brenda and Paco struggle to reach him, a sudden attack by Ghostfire forces Scarab’s dark nature to fully awaken. Written by Dennis Hallum and illustrated by Freddie E. Williams II, with colors by Jeremy Colwell and letters by Thomas Napolitano, this first issue of The Infected: Scarab #1 (2020) delivers a chilling descent into identity and corruption, all framed by David Marquez’s striking cover.
