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 happened, humanity was changed forever, transformed by symbiotic fungal megasystems that infected their bodies.
Some affected people grew new body parts, some found their personalities changed in radical new ways, while others reported contact with some... other intelligence not their own.

Pearson and Bonato create some beautiful imagery throughout the issue. I really like the visual style of the issue and the unique imagery throughout it. Read Full Review
I would've preffered my focus stayed in the murder mystery alone. At least for the begining. Regardless of my petty objection, this is quite the story and quite a world. Makes you wonder about the people who create this sort of works. If this is what they bring to life, what are the horrors that don't make the cut? Read Full Review
This story is fascinating and macarbe all at the same time. It got me thinking about what makes a body up and what equates as life on a cellular level of existence. As I read it I have a stinking cold with the usual coughs , sneezing and general feeling of dying. I don't know if it was kismet or just plain luck that got me interested enough to give this a shot but I for one are grateful regardless. Wonderfully paced and the art is simply wonderful. Whoever is really in charge at Boom Studios when it comes to giving the green light for these creator comics , give yourself a big fat thank you for showing the rest of the comics industry that there is more to comics than super hero's...........JM
I'm still not sure how the Bloom solved all the worlds wars and problems, but this book was pretty cool. It has me intrigued and some of the bloomed people looked pretty gnarly.
