A Deadly Plague Calls For Surgeon X

For a decade, doctors have been warning about the overuse of penicillin and other antibiotics; their overuse, they argue, will create antibiotic-resistance bacteria that will be unstoppable and deadly. In Surgeon X (JUL160674), the new Image Comics series from acclaimed documentary filmmaker Sara Kenney, and John Watkiss (The Sandman), the antibiotic-resistant future comes to chilling life!

With a so-called superbug devastating the United Kingdom, ushering in a xenophobic government who preys upon the fear of the healthy, one doctor will do what it takes to save lives and battle both a government hostile to medicine and the superbug itself. Kenney and Watkiss have partnered with Karen Berger, the legendary Vertigo Comics editor, to tell a chilling tale that could be ripped from today's headlines in Surgeon X!

Look for Surgeon X (JUL160674) in the July issue of the PREVIEWS comic shop catalog!
