The widely acclaimed Image Comics series Undiscovered Country has just wrapped its second story arc, and its creative team is already looking ahead to the launch of bestselling series' third arc.

In an exclusive sneak peek from creators Charles Soule, Scott Snyder and Giuseppe Camuncoli, a faux postcard from Pennsylvania reveals a trio of flying saucers approaching a dimly lit barn at night. Written statements from the creative team indicate indicate local culture will begin to inform the story and its characters as they explore a United States cut off from the outside world for decades, an arc that will unfold in interesting ways involving urban legends of alien abductions. The postcard, pencilled by Camuncoli, inked by Leonardo Marcello Grassi and colored by Matt Wilson, is below.

"I went to college in Pennsylvania, and spent plenty of time driving on the back roads in the years I lived there. It’s a huge, huge state, and the country is wide open -- it’s easy to believe anything could be waiting for you. That’s very much the spirit we’re trying to conjure up with Undiscovered Country as a series, and this image nails it perfectly. Alien abduction stories are very much part of American myth, and it’s fun to think about how to integrate them into the larger narrative," Soule tells CBR. "The next arc for the story brings our team of explorers to a new region of the changed United States called POSSIBILITY (after they’ve previously hit DESTINY and UNITY) -- so you’re starting to see that each of the thirteen Zones is based around a principle or facet of what you might call the American Identity. Possibility is about the power of American culture and creativity, and what that means to both people who live in this country as well as to the world at large. It’s really fun -- we get to take the story to some really interesting places, and this arc has a massive, series-changing twist at the end, too. Good stuff!"

"In addition to this being a truly swashbuckling new chapter for the characters, this arc is packed with a ton of iconic Americana we think readers will get a kick out of discovering," Snyder added. "So far the series has shown off how innovation runs through the U.S.’s veins, but this arc truly digs deep into how much art, music, culture and imagination runs can strengthen a country's backbone."

"I have never been to Pennsylvania but I found the idea of mixing flying saucers and farms simply fantastic. So it obviously needed to be a night scene, and I simply played with the shapes of the buildings, threw some heavy blacks and just lit up a few spooky windows and les jeux sont faits," Camuncoli observed. "I have to say that this was one of the simplest and easiest postcard layouts to provide, but that at the same time Leonardo Marcello Grassi's inks and Matt Wilson's colors just took it to the next level. It's probably one of my favourite, if not THE favourite, from this lot."

Written by Charles Soule and Scott Snyder and illustrated by Giuseppe Camuncoli, Undiscovered Country Vol. 2 goes on sale March 24 from Image Comics.
