Image Comics will release Phantom Road, Vol. 3 on October 8 in comic shops and October 21 in bookstores, collecting issues #11–15 of Jeff Lemire and Gabriel Hernández Walta’s Eisner-nominated supernatural mystery series.

Set in 1997, the new volume follows Agent Donald Weaver in rural Wisconsin as he investigates a string of brutal murders with possible occult ties. Partnered with Agent Jimmy Harold, Weaver uncovers links between Billy Bear truck stops, strange ley lines, and a government conspiracy called Project Jackknife.

Known for its mix of horror, crime, and supernatural elements, Phantom Road has drawn comparisons to Twin Peaks, The X-Files, and Lemire’s own Gideon Falls. This latest installment deepens the series’ mythology of roadside terrors and creeping cosmic evil.

Image Comics and Ghost Machine’s Rook: Exodus will return this fall with a new six-issue story arc beginning October 1. The fantasy sci-fi series from Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok has been one of the publisher’s standout titles, and the upcoming storyline introduces both a dangerous new villain and deeper exploration of the Wardens who inhabit the world of Exodus.

The arc begins in Rook: Exodus #7, as Rook and Dire Wolf set out to save Dire Wolf’s father, Bloodhound, who may hold the key to preventing the collapse of Exodus. Bloodhound, however, has been driven to madness by the influence of his mask, leaving him a threat as much as an ally. Complicating matters further is Stag, a mysterious new character first hinted at earlier in the series, who is now hunting Bloodhound with lethal intent.

Geoff Johns has teased appearances by additional Wardens introduced in the first arc, including Matterhorn, the Warden of Goats, and Arachnid, the Warden of Spiders. The new storyline aims to expand both the mythology and the visual scope of the series.

The launch issue will feature multiple variant covers, including a six-part connected cover by Malaysian artist Kael Ngu that spans the entire arc. Readers can also catch up with Rook: Exodus, Volume One, now available in trade paperback, with a deluxe hardcover edition forthcoming.

Rook: Exodus #7 arrives in comic shops October 1.
