Where it came from
Route 666 #1 was published by CrossGen Comics in 2002, emerging during a period when the publisher was aggressively expanding its shared-universe lineup. Created by writer Tony Bedard and artist Karl Moline, the series was designed to blend traditional superhero tropes with gritty horror and road-trip sensibilities. The story follows Cassie Starkweather, a runaway who discovers she has the ability to see supernatural manifestations while traveling across the United States, effectively turning the familiar highway into a landscape of dark fantasy.
The visual design of the series leaned heavily into the moody, atmospheric aesthetic popular in early 2000s independent comics, with Moline’s crisp line work helping to distinguish the title from CrossGen's more high-fantasy offerings. While the publisher eventually ceased operations in 2004, the series is remembered for its ambitious genre-bending premise and its role in the wider, interconnected narrative framework of the CrossGen universe, which aimed to offer a cohesive alternative to the major mainstream publishers of the time.
