Route 666

In the early 2000s, CrossGen gave readers a wild ride through the American heartland with Route 666, a 22-issue horror series that follows a young woman with a dark, supernatural secret as she barrels down a seemingly endless highway. Written primarily by Tony Bedard, with art by Karl Moline, Cliff Richards, and John McCrea, the series stands out for its blend of road-trip adventure and visceral monster-of-the-week storytelling. It matters as a distinctive entry in CrossGen's ambitious, creator-driven line, offering a gritty, kinetic take on the horror genre that still feels fresh.
