Injection by Warren Ellis, Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire.

Injection written by Warren Ellis, drawn by Declan Shalvey and coloured by Jordie Bellaire is a bloody marvellous read. Of course, Warren Ellis is a writer of the highest calibre and I have yet to read work of his I've not liked, and Injection is Warren at his best. The story of 5 geniuses in their fields: a strategist/agent,  a scientist/genuine genius, a logician/ethicist, a AI expert and a cunning-man (wizard), all are brought together by a government/corporate group (Ministry of Time and Measurement and Force Projection International) to form the Cultural Cross Contamination Unit. Worried that the 21th century was entering a period of stagnation, our five geniuses are tasked with finding a solution, to make the 21st century more interesting and thus stimulate development. Guess what? It doesn't go to plan and things get weird. I wont go further, so not to spoil it. Warrens plausible and engaging characters, their development and dialogue carriers the story at a perfect pace. Complemented by Declan Shalveys' lovely expressive drawing and Jordie Bellaires beautiful colours, Injection is a real page turner, I'm a slow reader and I finished it in no time, and wanted more. A tale of nature, science, magic, archaeology, folklore and more! I can't wait for the next collected volume out in July.
