Morlocks #1

Jun 2002 · Marvel · 2.50 USD; 4.00 CAD
“Initiation”

"Initiation" kicks off Morlocks #1 with a raw, grounded story of a dying gang banger who awakens to unexpected mutant abilities, only to be pulled from the streets by a hidden community of outcast mutants beneath Chicago. Written by Geoff Johns and brought to life with gritty, atmospheric art by Shawn Martinbrough—both interior and cover—this issue blends urban tension with the eerie mystery of the Morlocks’ underground world, while Dr. Metellus quietly advances a chilling new phase of the Sentinel program using vintage machines.
