If you've ever wanted to read a comic that leaves you completely confused—but completely hooked at the same time—Red Roots #1 might be exactly that kind of experience. Jace breaks down the oversized debut issue from Image Comics and the Skybound Entertainment imprint, written and illustrated by Lorenzo De Felici with lettering by Russ Wooton. From a brutal, near-silent infiltration filled with violence and atmosphere to a seemingly normal schoolteacher whose life spirals into something far stranger, the issue presents two completely different narratives that feel disconnected—but clearly aren't. Jace explores how the visual storytelling carries the weight, how the lack of answers is intentional, and why the mystery surrounding the severed heads, the red roots, and the final page twist makes this one of the most intriguing debut issues in recent memory. This is a spoiler discussion that leans into the confusion—in the best possible way. 👉 Follow The Comic Source on all social media with our Linktree - https://linktr.ee/thecomicsource
