Contagion

In 2019, Marvel unleashed Contagion, a five-issue miniseries that saw writer Ed Brisson and artists Stephen Segovia, Adam Gorham, and Damian Couceiro craft a tense, street-level thriller. The story follows a mysterious, rapidly spreading disease that targets superhumans, forcing a handful of heroes to navigate a quarantined New York City while confronting both the outbreak and the paranoia it ignites. A taut, character-driven saga from the modern Marvel era, it matters for its grounded take on superhuman vulnerability and the moral dilemmas of a pandemic-era comic.
