Woods has discussed a fourth volume, saying, in mid-2009:
Plot
The story depicts the near-future world of New York City where two gun toting couriers deliver questionable goods by questionable means. Very heavily influenced by the Hong Kong style of cinema and Japanese manga style comics, The Couriers is an action driven graphic novel that returns the artform of comic books to its pulp/action oriented stories, albeit with an updated modern feel.
Connections with other comics
Some of the characters first appeared in the Couscous Express. It is also a part of Wood's Channel Zero universe as Jennie 2.5 showed up in the last chapter of the first trade.

Film
It was announced in 2007 that Intrepid Pictures has picked up the option to make a film based on the series, with Javier Grillo-Marxuach pencilled in to write the screenplay.
