Image Comics will publish the paperback edition of The Me You Love in the Dark from Eisner Award-winning writer Skottie Young (I Hate Fairyland, Middlewest, Twig) and artist Jorge Corona (Middlewest, Transformers) this October.

The story centers on Ro, a painter battling creative block who withdraws to an aging Victorian house to reignite her inspiration. Instead of clarity, she discovers a mysterious presence that soon becomes both muse and menace. What begins as solace evolves into an unsettling romance, drawing Ro into obsession and a dangerous loss of control.

Blending elements of horror, fantasy, and psychological drama, the graphic novel examines the price of creation and the allure of giving oneself over to the unknown.

The Me You Love in the Dark (ISBN: 9781534399617, Lunar Code 0825IM0487) will be available at local comic shops on Wednesday, October 8, and at independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, October 21. Digital editions will be offered across platforms including Kindle, Apple Books, Google Play, and Omnibus.

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.

Image Comics will publish a trade paperback edition of Karmen this winter. The graphic novel by Batman and Catwoman artist Guillem March follows Catalina, a young woman who, after taking her own life, is guided on a surreal journey by an unconventional angel.

The story, first published in Belgium by Dupuis, was translated for U.S. readers in single issues and later collected in a hardcover edition in 2020. Combining elements of magical realism with themes of grief and redemption, Karmen is noted for its dreamlike artwork and introspective tone.

March’s work has been compared to other graphic novels such as Daytripper and I Kill Giants, as well as films like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

The paperback release follows the hardcover’s sell-out and continues Image Comics’ efforts to bring international titles to the U.S. market.

Anzuelo, 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.

Writer Charles Soule and artist Ryan Browne return with The Lucky Devils #4, set to release July 30. The new issue introduces a major character as the story continues its descent through the circles of Hell. In tandem, a second printing of issue #3 will also be available for readers catching up on the series.

The fantasy satire follows devils Collar and Rake as they secretly do good on Earth to destabilize Hell. In issue #4, their actions draw the attention of powerful demons, who send a dangerous hunter to restore order.

Soule and Browne acknowledged delays due to health challenges, but both confirmed the series is back on schedule. Multiple cover variants for issue #4 will be available, including artwork by Browne and Andrew MacLean.

The Lucky Devils is published by Image Comics and is also available digitally via Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
