Dom and Birdie attempt to deliver their mysterious cargo while discovering how powerful it truly is. Meanwhile, Agent Weaver finds herself on the other side of the interrogation desk, answering questions she didn't know that she should be asking herself.
Lemire is incredibly patient with the story. Theres clearly A LOT going on in Phantom Road that doesnt meet the surface of the panel, but hes allowing it to slowly reveal itself over time. And hes letting it happen without any kind of narration. The story will get where its going in time. Just let the readers enjoy the disturbingly slow weirdness of it all. Its a good time.

With compelling progression for our leads Phantom Road #4 is the best issue of this series thus far. The mystery of what is going on is made better thanks to the addition of a third lead in Agent Weaver. Her story going on in parallel to Dom and Birdie created a greater investment in the story Jeff Lemire, Gabriel H. Walta, and Jordie Bellaire are telling. Read Full Review
This issue, in particularly, borders on the edge of being too quick of a read, with little progressing on both the character and story fronts. Read Full Review
Without a central theme to ponder, Phantom Road's slow and ponderous nature feels empty and dissatisfying. Read Full Review
Look I love this issue but its a weird balance between the two stories. Maybe it will all come together, but as it stands, its a great read but both stories are splitting your attention. I want a bit more of the main story.
I liked the mystery with the agent. The main story is starting to lose me because it's just not giving us enough to care all that much.
