BOOM! Studios shared a first look at In Bloom #1, the new sci-fi series from Michael W. Conrad ,John J. Pearson (Mindset), and Pat Brosseau. The issue hits shelves December 11th with a main cover by Pearson and variants by Alison Sampson, and Jae Lee & June Chung.

What’s the publisher saying about the issue?

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.
