The Eisner, Harvey and Reuben Award-winning Concrete is back with a 5-part story of amnesia, wilderness, and suspense. Concrete has entered the desert and not come back. Larry and Maureen are frantic. Reports come that he is wandering the nearby arid mountains, covered with blood, attacking people. Concrete, lightning-struck, confused, roams a frightening world he can’t understand. Roars tear across the sky. A strange globe rises. His body is sheathed in stone. He thinks he is being hunted. People are a threat.
His journey back to life, and his friends’ dire search against a looming deadline, is as strange and tense as any

Jun 21, 2026This is such a thoughtful and meditative comic that when the pace picks up towards the end, it’s jarring and truly frightening like a tidal wave on a peaceful beach. But definitely count me as a new believer in this indie comics icon and in Paul Chadwick’s poetic writing and naturalistic art. Read Full Review

Plot
Concrete, Larry, Maureen, and the boy continue their road trip while the boy recovers from his transformation. During this journey, Concrete narrates his story from town to town. They are currently traveling through the deserts of Colorado, USA.
They stop at some giant sand dunes, where Concrete experiences an introspective moment. He is struck by lightning and falls unconscious, sinking into the dunes.
A brilliant story filled with contemplative moments about Concrete's process of self-discovery and his ability to share it with others. It's recommended to read the previous book.
