Crimson Plague #1 Image Comics 2000 5.0 VG/FN George Perez Sci Fi Horror
An Image Comic (S/A) George Perez (C) Tom Smith/ Color Arts Something horrible has happened on MannaWorks 3. In one night the entire population of the prison mining colony on one of Jupiter's moons has been destroyed, all their bodies putrefied into masses of red mush-- all dead except for a mysterious young woman with a ribbon of crimson in her long black hair. The same young woman who, five years later, is at the center of a series of similar bloody deaths on the Mars colony of MannaWorks 2. You see, DiNA: Simmons is no ordinary woman. Her blood is lethal to the touch. She bleeds, you die-- horribly and instantly, as a gang of would-be attackers learn all too well on the Martian settlement. And as dangerous as DiNA: is when attacked, that is not the most frightening part of her powers. No, it is during certain biological cycles that DiNA: Simmons is at her most deadly-- when the destructive toxins in her blood become an airborne virus-- capable of destroying an entire planet in a night-- a crimson plague for which there is no known cure-- and no escape. A crimson plague that is one step closer to reaching Earth.
