"Once upon a time, there were five crazy people and they poisoned the 21st century. Now they have to deal with the corrosion to try to save us all from a world becoming too weird to support human life. Injection... is science fiction, tales of horror, strange crime fiction, techno-thriller, and ghost story all at the same time. A serialized sequence of graphic novels about how loud and strange the world is getting, about the wild future and the haunted past all crashing into the present day at once, and about five eccentric geniuses dealing with the paranormal and numinous as well as the growing weight of what they did to the planet with the Injection." -- Page [4] cover.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this little gem! this unusual horror, scifi, fantasy hybrid was delightful! I read it nearly in one sitting and am already ready for more!
I found Injection to be a bit of a slow burn. It has to establish the 5 former members of the CCCU, build the world and establish the rules. We get hints at a lot of thing including the Injection, Breakers yard as well as the ongoing techno weirdness.
The sheer volume of things in play meant that this volume was somewhat lacking focus, a lot of things are thrown at the reader at the start, drawing dots to be connected later.
We have a team of damaged characters who are starting to come together so they can clean up the mess from The Bad Things they did in the past. This has all of the seeds for a great Warren Ellis story so I willing to trust that the future payoff will be worth the slow start.
