The Midas Flesh

The Midas Flesh, launched in 2019 by Boom! Studios, is a single-issue comic that reimagines the myth of King Midas as a sci-fi horror premise. The story follows a crew of space scavengers who discover the legendary, deadly touch of Midas preserved on a lost planet, turning their heist into a desperate struggle for survival. This tight, self-contained tale showcases the publisher's knack for high-concept genre mashups, blending cosmic adventure with a grim, cautionary twist on a classic fable.
