About the series
John Rozum and artists J. J. Birch and Denys Cowan brought a singular, surreal energy to DC’s mid-90s line with Xombi, a 22-issue series following a nanotechnology-enhanced protagonist navigating a world of bizarre science, mysticism, and cosmic horror. At its core, the book blended street-level action with wildly inventive concepts—from sentient viruses to interdimensional entities—all rendered in a distinctive, moody visual style. It remains a cult touchstone for its unapologetically strange, heartfelt take on the superhero genre.
