Deep Roots

A haunting, ecological horror series from Vault Comics, Deep Roots (2019–present) follows a group of college students who discover that the trees in a remote forest are not only sentient but violently predatory. Written with a slow-burn dread, the debut issue—illustrated by Val Rodrigues—establishes a tense, atmospheric survival story that explores humanity’s fragile relationship with nature. This single-issue series matters as a chilling, self-contained tale that reimagines the natural world as an active, vengeful force.
