It originally came to Cullen Bunn in a dream, and over time that surreal spark has become a living nightmare in the form of the new comic book series Invasive. Following a doctor and detective as they peel back the macabre mystery of the "murder surgeons" slicing their way through the city, Invasive reunites Cullen Bunn with renowned illustrator Jesús Hervás (who are also joined by Federico Sabbatini) as they take readers on a disturbing descent into palpable terror and deadly obsessions.
Previously, we covered the release of the 4-issue series, and with Invasive trade paperback out on October 22nd from Oni Press, we have a special Halloween treat for Daily Dead readers: we have the entire first issue that you can read now!
Synopsis: "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 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.
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 . . ."
