Review Overview

Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth, Snow Angels) and Gabriel Hernandez Walta (The Vision, Hellboy and the B.P.R.D: Old Man Whittier) have created a truly unique story that is part grindhouse horror and part high-concept supernatural fantasy with Phantom Road. It’s an exciting journey that we can’t wait to explore further!

Phantom Road #1In this debut issue of the miniseries, we meet Dom, a long-haul truck driver who is struggling with his tragic past. His life takes an unexpected turn when he stops one night to help Birdie, who has been in a massive car crash. When they pull an artifact from the wreckage, they are thrown into an intense journey through a surreal world where they are hunted by strange and impossible monsters.

Lemire continues to prove why he is one of the best creative minds in comic books today. His writing is captivating and entertaining, drawing readers into this mysterious world with ease. Gabriel Hernandez Walta’s artwork also fits the story perfectly; it has a haunting quality that immerses readers in each scene and captures the full range of emotions felt by Dom and Birdie on their journey. The story moves along at a good pace, leaving readers wanting more after each page turn!

The combination of Lemire’s writing and Walta’s artwork makes Phantom Road #1 something special for comic book fans. The stakes are high as Dom and Birdie battle against impossible odds—we still don’t know what will happen next! This is sure to be an exciting ride as we explore this supernatural fantasy world further!

The long anticipated debut of Phantom Road is now available at your local comic shops. Jeff Lemire’s creative writing and Gabriel Hernandez Walta’s stunning artwork, this miniseries promises to be thrilling ride into the unknown. After finishing this first issue, I’m already eager for more—and I’m sure you’ll feel the same way too.
