You can now get a second look at INVASIVE #1, the year's most shocking horror debut from Cullen Bunn and Jesús Hervás.
The press release follows:
Media Release -- After months of anticipation, Oni Press is proud to reveal the first look at never-before-seen variant covers for INVASIVE #1 by superstar artist Jae Lee (Stephen King's The Dark Tower, Seven Sons)!
Available in both full color and B&W variations, Lee's incentive covers will debut on INVASIVE #1 – the FIRST ISSUE of the terrifying new experiment in pain from Eisner Award-nominated writer Cullen Bunn (The Sixth Gun, Ghostlore) and acclaimed artist Jesús Hervás (The Empty Man) cutting into comic shops everywhere on December 6th!
Dr. Carrie Reynolds was a veteran trauma surgeon with a godlike mastery of muscle and bone. But outside the operating room, her rigidly ordered life spiraled into chaos when her daughter, Heather—a recovering plastic surgery addict—suddenly disappeared, only to mysteriously reemerge in a catatonic state, her vocal cords removed . . . the latest in a series of victims all scarred by a battery of brazenly cruel medical procedures that have baffled police and left an alarming number of once-ordinary citizens maimed, mutilated, or dead on arrival.
Because, deep beneath the streets of Carrie's city, a new kind of underground hospital has just opened its doors . . . and, once inside, there are no rules, no oaths, and no taboos too deep to not to be broken. Together, a new class of surgeon has sworn to pierce the final threshold of accepted medical orthodoxy one incision at a time.
The scalpel is their tool. The alleys are their operating theater. Murder is their medicine. And only Carrie can stop what they're planning next . . .
Featuring covers by Jesús Hervás (Marvel Unleashed), Luana Vecchio (Lovesick), and Brian Level (Cosmic Ghost Rider, Night People) alongside comics superstar Jae Lee, INVASIVE #1 is the much-anticipated first release under the ONI 2024 banner – a slate of five propulsive new monthly comic series from a wide-ranging cast of award-winning creators and fast-rising stars that fully embrace the potential of the comics medium to invert, collide, and reinvent the foundational genres of horror, science fiction, crime, fantasy, and beyond:
