Eugenic

BOOM!; $14.99

Contagion meets Black Mirror in this heart-racing sci-fi epic from the GLAAD Award-nominated team of James Tynion IV (Detective Comics) and Eryk Donovan (Constantine: The Hellblazer). Eugenic offers a new vision of humanity’s future that will leave readers with their jaw on the floor. 

In 2022 A.D. one woman’s innocent cough led to the eventual death of more than 700 million people across the next decade. Labeled the Mississippi Delta Virus, or Red Cough, this plague ravages the world and leaves 60% of the population infected as either a carrier or victim. As a byproduct of MDV, pregnancies occurring in carriers would routinely result in stillbirth. That is, until, pharmaceutical giant Gonring-Cole announced a vaccine with an apparent 100% success rate. 

Praised as a white light in this dying world, Doctor Cyrus Crane restores hope to the world. But when those who took the cure begin having children…the results are unnatural and severely disfigured. While parents and scientist alike riot, Doctor Crane reveals a shocking secret that will leave the world, forever altered.

Tynion IV and Donovan have created a truly sinister thriller that stays with you long after you finish reading. Between the powerful writing and the eerie images, this collection is a can’t miss for horror fans.
