BOOM! Studios has revealed a first look at In Bloom #1, the premiere issue of a brand new boundary pushing sci-fi series from visionary writer Michael W. Conrad (Wonder Woman), Eisner-Award-winning illustrator John J. Pearson (Mindset), and letterer Pat Brosseau. Coming to comic shops in December 2024.
43% of the cells within a healthy human body belong to something other than the human host. Microbiomes, invasive bacteria, fungal and viral agents, and something else. Something…more.
When the BLOOM finally happened, humanity was changed forever, transformed by the symbiotic fungal megasystems that infected their bodies. Some of the affected grew new body parts, some found their personalities changed in radical new ways, while others reported contact with an intelligence that was not their own.
In this bold new world, Agent Spears finds himself investigating a series of mysterious murders, a chain of violence that leads him to a terrifying question on which the fate of every living being rests.
The first issue in the series features main cover art by series artist John J. Pearson, and variant covers by acclaimed illustrators Alison Sampson (Sleeping Beauties), and Jae Lee & June Chung (The Dark Tower). First looks at each of the cover designs are below:
BOOM! has also revealed a selection of fully-lettered interior pages from issue #1 which you can read below:
In Bloom #1 will be available in comic shops December 11, 2024. It is available for pre-order at your local comic shop. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including Kindle, iBooks, and Google Play.
