Welcome to Litsy!

By the end of this first volume I‘m still not entirely sure what‘s going on, but I‘m definitely intrigued. This series is a mashup of genres: sci-fi, folklore, horror, thriller, supernatural… and it‘s absolutely working for me. Add in some smarty pants characters tinged with darkness, and yeah - I‘m all in. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series and seeing what comes if it all.

Warren Ellis bringing his eye to English Folklore the way he did Popular Fiction in Planetary. Only he is still breaking down Popular Fiction using the main characters. Not sure it will make you a better person, but it will make you more interesting.

Weird combination of occult and science with versions of James Bond and Sherlock Holmes thrown into the mix. Feels like pieces of Global Frequency and Planetary combined with Ellis‘ love of tech and British folklore. Great reading for a rainy day or late night.

I am really getting into this Sherlock like character of Vivek Headland. He's so annoying it's cool.

Music from Bill Bruford to go along with tonight's graphic novel reads.

This Injection series is quite intriguing. I'm not quite sure how to classify it yet. Maybe a bit x-files like? Going to dive into volumes 2 & 3 next.

Really surprised by how much I enjoyed this one! Doesn‘t explain much in the beginning and I was confused at first about what was going on but those last few pages when everything suddenly clicked had me completely hooked. Funny, dark and fantastical in a sci-fi way. Looking forward to the next volume!

First series done. A very interesting concept with great art and an interesting ensemble of characters.

Asked the hubby to bring me “that stack of books” because he was up and I didn‘t want to leave the blankets. “No, not that stack. THAT stack!” Jeez.

Another great, weird comic!

Definitely a graphic novel series you should check out!

Injection was definitely a trip! Really enjoyed this graphic novel!

#readathon reads 4 + 5 (meant to save my comics for later but I've got more I can add). And the snacks have come out to play!

The injection continues messing with reality.

Finally figured out the difference between Warren Ellis and Garth Ennis. Warren Ellis is the one I like.

A young series with soooo much potential! Sophisticated horror, smart dialogue, and a premise that promises an epic scale and endless episodic potential in occurrences of various occult phenomenon. 👻

I read the first volume and liked the underlying premise of the series and the twists enough to continue. On finishing the second volume however, I find the delivery lacking subtlety. It railroads on with an insufferable high handed tone that feels like it should contain deep philosophic meaning, but after it's deciphered turns out basic and disappointing. Lovely artwork but something of a let down story-wise

Set in the future, Vivek a modern day Sherlock and his battle scarred manservant Red, work to curtail the fallout from the Injection - an AI super computer virus that has learned how to manipulate humans and markets. Only Vivek and his team can pinpoint the irregularities, events and chaos caused by the virus.

Very interesting. I'm looking forward to the second volume :)

My latest graphic novel grab from the library. Not sure when I'll get the chance to read them as I'm pretty swamped with thesis and internship but I will find the time somehow

I love searching through piles/shelves/boxes at library sales, thrift shops, and garage sales for #usedbooks and coming back with a stack of treasures. Because I tend to do this often, I have to cull my shelves throughout the year to make room for more books. I usual donate back to the library bookshop. Here's Cinna guarding the stack I recently set aside for the library. He's making sure I don't put any back on my shelf 😄 #augustphotochallenge

This vol collects issues 1-5. It blends horror and sci/fi with a bit of fantasy. I really wanted to like this more, especially since it's from Image and I love when horror and sci/fi mesh. I just wasn't pulled in the way I'd hoped to be. The story seemed a little disjointed, partly due to the multiple storylines and the jumps between the past and present. Beautiful illustrations though. It did pique my curiosity enough to pick up the next volume.

This final issue of the second arc was great! Can't wait for more at the end of the year. Injection is a interesting blend of magic and scifi totally worth checking out.

Story was a little tough to follow at first but once the pieces started fitting together I became engrossed. I loved how science and legend blended within the story. And loved the art. There were some amazing panels I really loved.

Next up in my TBR. Can't wait to check it out.
