Infestation

In 2011, IDW Publishing launched Infestation, a one-issue crossover event that united the publisher's diverse licensed properties—from Transformers and G.I. Joe to Ghostbusters and Star Trek—against a zombie-like plague. Written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, the series served as a compact, high-stakes team-up, showcasing IDW's signature blend of horror and action across its most iconic franchises. Though brief, it established a shared universe for these disparate worlds, offering fans a glimpse of how their favorite characters might collide in a crisis.
