Strap in, fellow comic geeks, because Ahoy Comics is about to drag readers deeper into the dust‑choked, blood‑spattered odyssey that only Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows could conjure. With BABS: The Black Road South #3, the creative duo tightens the reins, pushing their heroine further down a path where every mile travelled comes with a price—and hopefully a reward, and every choice cuts a little deeper.

This chapter doesn’t just escalate the danger; it widens the world and sharpens the stakes while maintaining its satirical edge. Issue#3 reminds you why Ennis and Burrows remain one of the most fearless pairings in comics. Expect razor‑edged dialogue, stark moral crossroads, and Burrows’ signature precision guiding you through a landscape where fortune or survival, for that matter, is never guaranteed.

Today, Thanks to our friends at Ahoy, we’re pulling back the curtain for an exclusive page reveal—your first step onto the next stretch of the Black Road. Ready to see where it leads?

Two armored women stand before a twisted, barren tree with a dragon perched above them in a desolate, mountainous landscape; the comic is titled "Babs: The Black Road South.

Geek Vibes Nation logo with blue lizard graphics and text elements.

A naked, long-haired figure kneels on a stone floor, arms raised toward a fiery, demonic face in the sky, with red text at the bottom reading "YOU ALWAYS WERE AN ASSHOLE. A pale, humanoid figure with pointed ears and fangs emerges from chains in a dark, fiery cave, expressing excitement and confusion while speaking animatedly. A wounded, pale figure kneels on the ground in a cave with red, glowing cracks; he speaks to someone off-panel and reacts with sarcasm to a plea for help. A fiery, demonic figure rises from a burning corpse as armored soldiers and a shadowy castle appear, accompanied by text narrating the rise of a dark king. A stylized map shows a train line with stations running from Mordynn to The High Barns, alongside medieval-themed illustrations and a red sky with dragons and castles in the corners.

On their quest down the demon-cursed Black Road South, Babs and Izzy face murderous creatures, a murderous hobbit who’s into bondage, and a couple of particularly murderous, impossible-not-to-mock examples of cosmetic surgery attached to a narcissistic swordswoman! Is all of this stress worth the treasure that might await at road’s end? Of course. It’s treasure!
