Phantom Road #11

Two figures in sunglasses stand in front of a large roadside sign in what looks like a sun-bleached parking lot — one in a dark suit, the other in a floral shirt — projecting the kind of quiet menace that Jeff Lemire and Gabriel H. Walta do so well. "The Horrormen Part 1 of 5" kicks off a brand-new arc, and that title alone promises something unsettling lurking just beneath the surface of this highway-noir series. Walta's grounded linework, colored by Jordie Bellaire in dusty, heat-soaked tones, makes this eleventh issue feel like the calm before something seriously strange.
