Rook: Exodus Returns in October With New Arc and Villain

rook-exodusImage 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.

Emma Ríos’ Anzuelo Brings Eco-Horror and Coming-of-Age Themes to YA Graphic Fiction

anzueloAnzuelo, the latest graphic novel from Eisner Award-winning artist and writer Emma Ríos, will be released in trade paperback on November 19 via Image Comics. Originally released in hardcover, the story has earned widespread acclaim for its imaginative worldbuilding and visual complexity.

Described by The New York Times as a “sweeping magical-realist coming-of-age story,” Anzuelo follows a group of teens navigating a world transformed after the sea mysteriously rises and absorbs the horizon. As reality bends, the characters are forced to adapt—physically and emotionally—while searching for meaning and gentleness in a fractured world.

Set in a surreal, post-apocalyptic landscape shaped by climate collapse, Anzuelo explores themes of nonviolence, survival, and transformation. The book has drawn praise for its poetic tone and ecological undertones, with Publishers Weekly calling it a “stunningly rendered postapocalyptic eco-horror” in a starred review.

Known for Pretty Deadly and Mirror, Ríos brings her signature lyrical style to a story that resists easy categorization, blending speculative fiction, dystopia, and dreamlike storytelling.

Anzuelo will also be available in digital formats and at major retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and independent bookstores starting December 2.

“Upload” Cast Brings Humor and Heart to Comic-Con Farewell Panel

The cast and creators of Amazon Prime Video’s sci-fi comedy hit “Upload” took the the Comic-Con stage Friday, celebrating the show’s journey, and teasing what’s to come in its fourth and final season. The actors spoke about the show’s exploration of identity, technology, and human connection.

Moderated by The Office’s Brian Baumgartner, the panel featured creator Greg Daniels alongside stars Robbie Amell, Andy Allo, Allegra Edwards and Kevin Bigley, for a fast-paced, funny and at times emotional look back at the show’s exploration of identity, technology, and human connection.

A sneak peek from Season 4 was screened for fans, featuring Alicia (Zainab Johnson) in a hilariously unexpected new role.

One particularly memorable moment came when Amell, Allo, and Edwards rolled up sleeves to show off matching tattoos they got after filming wrapped.

The cast reflected on how their characters had changed, from Ingrid’s evolution beyond a high-maintenance villain to Luke’s surprising emotional depth beneath the comic relief.

Toward the end, Daniels revealed the cover of a new comic book titled Prefera, a digital-afterlife-themed story he’s working on with artist Tom Hoskisson and writer Izzy Kadish. The comic’s concept appears to echo Upload’s core ideas.

The most emotional moment came from Andy Allo, who paused to acknowledge how long the journey had been: “Seven years later, we’re finally here,” she said. “And we get to finish this with all of you.”
