The Final Plague

A five-issue miniseries from Action Lab Comics, The Final Plague (2013–2014) is a horror-thriller that pits a small-town sheriff against a mysterious, rapidly spreading infection that turns its victims into something far worse than the dead. Written and drawn by an independent team, the series grounds its supernatural outbreak in gritty, character-driven survival, earning a cult following for its unflinching tone and stark, moody artwork. It stands as a notable entry in Action Lab's early catalog, showcasing the publisher's willingness to tackle dark, creator-owned genre stories outside the superhero mainstream.
