| PORTLAND, Ore. 09/02/2026 — Red Roots, Vol. 1 by superstar artist and breakout debut writer Lorenzo de Felici (Oblivion Song, Void Rivals, Kroma), will collect Red Roots #1-5 of the ongoing, genre-defying series into trade paperback from Image Comics. This explosive supernatural mystery will hit shelves this Fall.
Red Roots features a central puzzle-box mystery similar to The Mist but with an explosive genre-twist similar to The Cabin in the Woods and Oblivion Song. As the story unfolds, the lives of a professional killer and a high school teacher are bound by a terrifying, mysterious force. Each chapter takes readers deeper into a world of dark fantasy lore and plot-twisting revelations.
De Felici rose to prominence with the launch of Oblivion Song—his co-creation with Robert Kirkman (Invincible, The Walking Dead)—and his subsequent success as the artist on the tentpole Energon Universe title, also with Kirkman, Void Rivals. De Felici and Kirkman’s creative alchemy set the Energon Universe on a path to sales-chart-domination and Void Rivals in-and-of-itself went on to become one of the biggest launches of 2024. It is currently on its 12th reprint with no signs of slowing down in momentum. This recent breakout success makes Felici’s Red Roots series one of the most exciting new developments in comics of the year.
Red Roots, Vol. 1 (ISBN: 9781534330603) trade paperback will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, October 21 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, November 17. |
