Year of the Villain: The Infected

In 2020, DC Comics unleashed Year of the Villain: The Infected, a single-issue tie-in to the larger "Year of the Villain" event. Written by Paul Jenkins with art by Jack Herbert, this one-shot explores a new strain of corruption spreading through the DC Universe, transforming heroes into twisted, villainous versions of themselves. It serves as a dark, self-contained snapshot of the event's core theme—the seductive power of a malevolent force offering temptation and transformation.
