From Tim Seeley (Hack/Slash, Revival) and Fran Galán (Lucky Devil) comes this horror saga about nostalgia, heavy metal music, hell, and redemption.
More than thirty-five years after his heyday, a former heavy metal roadie must return to the backroads of America to do a job he thought he'd retired from: exorcist. But this time, he's not saving groupies and drunk bassists. He's trying to save his daughter.

Sep 26, 2022Josef Deseptum makes it clear that the only music for him is Rock. But while Joe D. loves the music, the story shows that these band's songs are more than words. The Satan was okay with letting them be used to rock, but now words are causing a rot. It's up to The Roadie to keep the rock of ages rolling down the highway to hell. Read Full Review

Sep 06, 2022A great premise and a nostalgic look at the 1980s rock scene aren't enough to save this premiere issue from being overloaded with too much exposition and not enough action on the page. We hear about the heroics of demon-fighting roadie Joe D. but we are deprived of seeing the man in action. Read Full Review

Capes & Tights - Jared Thomas
May 10, 2023What sets this story apart from other horror stories is the unique angle of the protagonist. Rather than being a musician in the band, he is the overlooked roadie. It reminds us that every member of a band has an integral role, but not all get the same recognition. It's relatable as it touches on the concept of identity and the notion of being defined by our role or career. Read Full Review

Sep 28, 2022The Roadie is a comic that I should like on paper, but barring any notable changes in the future, I see myself bouncing off of this one quickly. Read Full Review
