Infestation 2

A two-part series from IDW, Infestation 2 launched in 2012 as a direct sequel to the original Infestation crossover, which saw zombies and Lovecraftian horrors invade the publisher's various licensed universes. This event continues that tradition, pitting IDW's cast of characters—including the Transformers, G.I. Joe, and the crew of the USS Enterprise—against a new, monstrous threat. Written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, the series is a self-contained, one-issue prelude that sets the stage for a larger, interconnected storyline across multiple titles. It matters as a key entry in IDW's shared-universe horror crossovers, showcasing the publisher's ambition to weave its disparate franchises into a cohesive, action-horror narrative.
