In The Phantom #5 from Mad Cave Studios, we reach the conclusion of the Singh Brotherhood arc. For those who came in late, Asif Singh and his henchmen have taken over the Bandar Village. If The Phantom doesn't show his face and give up his cat-and-mouse game with the Singh Brotherhood, Asif swears to execute every last Bandar child. It's a race against time as Phantom and Guran team up to take down Asif once and for all.
After this issue, we seemingly won't have a new issue of The Phantom from Mad Cave Studios until April 2026, when the publisher is planning to release an oversized one-shot The Phantom vs. The Sky-Band #1. Hopefully more issues get announced soon, as the creative team have steadily been introducing more and more of The Phantom's lore throughout this 5-issue series.

Synopsis: HE WHO DEFIES THE PHANTOM DEFIES JUSTICE ITSELF! The Phantom is injured and finally lies within Arif Singh's gun sights. But most of Singh's men have already fallen to the Phantom's mark -- and the leader of the Singh Brotherhood has dangerously underestimated a legend. Justice stalks the jungle as the first arc of Ray Fawkes and Russell Olson's ongoing epic comes to an explosive close!
Questions for the Phans: Do you think we'll see Asif Singh return? Does this sound like we'll see another follow-up miniseries?
