Injection Dishes Out New Story Arc


Injection continues its ongoing status as a series in January with a brand new story arc. Warren Ellis, Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire start off the new arc in New York in Injection #6 where consulting detective Vivek Headland takes on a case that quickly invokes a murderous sandwich.

“Injection #6 begins a new five-part volume. Volume 1 was largely about Professor Maria Kilbride dealing with ancient supernatural horrors. Starting here, Volume 2 is mostly about consulting detective Vivek Headland in New York City, dealing with the mysterious theft of a ghost. And also human ham,” said Ellis. “Eventually, the entire Injection team, the five eccentric geniuses of the old Cultural Cross-Contamination Unit, will be involved in a weird crime story that may also explain more about the Injection itself—the haunted artificial intelligence committing horrors in the dark.”

“With the focus of Injection shifting to Vivek Headland in Volume 2, the scope of the story becomes much wider,” said Shalvey. “An unconventional mystery warrants Vivek's attention as some of the old team arrive in New York. If Volume 1 could be described as a strange sci-fi story, Volume 2 could be described as a strange crime story. Being Injection, of course, the emphasis is on strange.”

Injection #6 Cover A by Shalvey and Bellaire (Diamond code: NOV150509) hits stores Wednesday, January 13th. Injection #6 Cover B by Shalvey and Bellaire (Diamond code: NOV150510) will also be available Wednesday, January 13th. Final order cutoff deadline for retailers is Monday, December 21st.

Previously in INJECTION, five geniuses poisoned the 21st century, and then scrambled to save the world from a terminal case of weird.
