Jeff Lemire and Gabriel Walta’s Phantom Road #1 sells out and heads back to print

Hot new series Phantom Road—by Sentient creative team Jeff Lemire and Gabriel Hernández Walta—is burning up the pavement with the first issue already wiped out completely at the distributor level and reorders escalating by the minute. Image Comics is fast-tracing the debut issue back to print this week in order to keep up with the breakneck speed of buzz for this wildly popular new title. This reprint will land on shelves same day as Phantom Road #2—just in time for customers eager to jump on board for the ride.

In Phantom Road, Dom is a long-haul truck driver attempting to stay ahead of his tragic past. When he stops one night to assist Birdie, who has been in a massive car crash, they pull an artifact from the wreckage that throws their lives into fifth gear. Suddenly, a typical midnight run has become a frantic journey through a surreal world where Dom and Birdie find themselves the quarry of strange and impossible monsters. It’s gritty horror meets high-concept supernatural fantasy.

Phantom Road #1, second printing and Phantom Road #2 will both be available on the same day at comic book shops on Wednesday, April 12:
