'''''Injection''''' is an American comics ongoing series, created in 2015 by [Warren Ellis](/source/Warren_Ellis) and illustrated by [Declan Shalvey](/source/Declan_Shalvey)  and [Jordie Bellaire](/source/Jordie_Bellaire), who previously collaborated on Ellis's [Moon Knight](/source/Moon_Knight) run for [Marvel Comics](/source/Marvel_Comics). The comic is high-concept science fiction fused with elements of magic and mythology, and also invokes British literary and pop cultural archetypes, such as [Bernard Quatermass](/source/Bernard_Quatermass), [Sherlock Holmes](/source/Sherlock_Holmes), [Doctor Who](/source/Doctor_Who), [James Bond](/source/James_Bond) and [Carnacki](/source/Carnacki).<ref>"All of the INJECTION volumes are takes on classic British weird fictions.  Vol 1 was Quatermass, Vol 2 was Holmes, Vol 3 is Doctor Who.  I felt like taking a tour of the old terrains.  So Vol 4 is Bond.  Vol 5 can possibly be characterised as Carnacki." Warren Ellis, Orbital Operations newsletter, 16 July 2017</ref> The series has been optioned for television by [Universal Cable Productions](/source/Universal_Cable_Productions).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://io9.gizmodo.com/warren-ellis-freaky-scifi-comic-series-injection-gets-o-1825182474|title=Warren Ellis' Freaky Scifi Comic Series Injection Gets Optioned for TV|author=Evan Narcisse|date=4 Nov 2018|work=io9|access-date=28 March 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/warren-ellis-ai-comic-injection-being-adapted-tv-1101630|title=Warren Ellis' AI Comic 'Injection' Being Adapted for TV (Exclusive)|website=[The Hollywood Reporter](/source/The_Hollywood_Reporter)|first=Lesley|last=Goldberg|date=April 11, 2018|access-date=June 10, 2019}}</ref>

==Plot==
A group of five highly specialized individuals are brought together by the British government to hypothesize about the future of human culture. Discovering the results, the group decide to act on it by creating an unusual artificial intelligence using a combination of technology and shamanistic magic, which makes its way into the world. The group, now disbanded, finds itself brought back together when the intelligence reemerges, creating specialized havoc that draws inspiration from mythology and superstition.
