I Am Legend Awakening

In 2007, DC Comics expanded the world of Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend with this single-issue comic, Awakening, written by Mark Protosevich (who also penned the film adaptation's screenplay) and illustrated by David Levy. It serves as a prequel, exploring the early days of the apocalyptic plague that turns humanity into vampiric creatures, setting the stage for the desperate survival of the story’s lone protagonist. Though brief, this issue offers a chilling glimpse into the collapse of civilization, grounding the horror in the quiet, creeping dread of a world losing itself.
