PORTLAND, Ore. 04/29/2025 — The Last of Us fans will find much to love in the apocalyptic Spread series by fan-favorite The Strange Tale of Luther Strode writer Justin Jordan and Twig artist Kyle Strahm. This infectious series will be collected in its entirety and available in one shelf-busting Spread Compendium paperback edition this October from Image Comics.
This definitive package includes Spread issues #1-25 and weighs in at over 500 pages of tentacled, science fiction horror. This is a must-read for fans of survivalist stories or Lovecraftian terror.
“Want to know what would happen if John Carpenter’s The Thing ate North America? Do you think Lone Wolf and Cub after the end of the world sounds awesome? Spread is all of that and more,” said Jordan. “And now we’ve finally got the infection contained in one big damn volume for the first time. The complete story, all in one place.”
Ten years ago, we dug too deep and unleashed something we couldn’t control. Something that twisted and warped every living thing in its path. Something that remade the world in its own image. The Spread. Now, one man has found a child who could save the world, but he has to fight monsters, raiders, cannibals, religious fanatics, and one cranky baby to do it.
Strahm added: “If you’re a fan of low-budget splattery horror flicks, Spread will scratch that gross, wet itch.”
Spread Compendium paperback (ISBN: 9781534332232) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, September 24 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, October 7.
Spread is also available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, Google Play, and Omnibus.
