Out There #2

In "Zurückgelassen," Jo and her friends join Abel on a road trip to Purgatory, Nevada—a town haunted by a past battle with the entity Draedalus that left its people changed, their neighbors transformed into monstrous goblins. As night falls, the town’s quiet vigil begins to unravel when the goblins emerge, overwhelming the group, including comic creator Max Ostrow and the lapsed Reverend Earl.

In der Klemme follows the El Dorado team as they probe the ruins of Draedalus’s failed portal, only to be ambushed by goblins twisted by Purgatory’s lingering corruption. With their own lives at risk, Reverend Earl calls upon dark forces to disperse the evil, while Reverend Becky leads an exorcism that reveals the trapped souls of the townsfolk—and a glimpse of the El Dorado team’s companions still alive in another realm. As they press on, they take in Megan, a quiet hitchhiker whose past remains unknown.

In "Verdrehte Straßen," the El Dorado team rests in Sterling City, Arizona, searching for Megan’s missing aunt while tensions simmer beneath the surface. Becky, seeking guidance at the church, receives unexpected help from Father Halcio—only to be confronted by a mysterious supernatural figure after leaving. Meanwhile, Adam, haunted by the ghost of his dead wife, is tormented by her insistence that the boy Mark is actually their lost son, Denny, driving him to a reckless, tragic collision that leaves his fate uncertain.

In "Haunts," Adam narrowly escapes a fatal car crash, only to be haunted by a mysterious presence he calls "Gloria." As Mark struggles to make sense of the eerie occurrences, he begins to suspect the truth isn’t supernatural—but something far more personal. With Becky and Abel arrested after a tense stand-off with police, and Adam teetering on the edge, a final, unexpected reunion offers a glimmer of hope.

In "Schattenjagd," Abel’s memories of lost speech and purpose surface amid a sandstorm’s echo, pulling four friends into a shared dream where El Dorado’s ghosts stir. As they confront visions of loved ones and face Draedalus’s offer to rule the world in exchange for submission, they stand together—reunited with Abel, Becky, and Megan—before a new path toward finding the lost city. At the dream’s edge, Susan Wexler arrives, searching for her son and husband, her arrival threading the dream’s mystery into the waking world.

In "Wo das Herz schlägt," the El Dorado team ventures into the strange energy of a New Age festival, where a mysterious medallion passed from vendor Mattie Pye to Becky becomes a thread in a deeper mystery. As they follow fragmented clues from Sheriff Philips’s notes—encoded and only partially understood—Mark’s hidden knowledge leads him to a fateful confrontation with the enigmatic Draedalus. Drawn through the veil of the cult’s legacy, the friends find themselves not in the promised El Dorado, but within the realm of the one they sought.
