The worlds of Ghost Machine are rapidly expanding. The latest one to get teased? The Rocketfellers, a new title from Peter J. Tomasi and Francis Manapul that is part of the start-up imprints Family Odyssey’s line. The concept? A family from the 25th Century escapes to modern-day Earth, and now need to try and fit in.
“We’re excited for you to meet this ensemble cast of characters from the future! The Rocketfellers’ time-travelling adventure reflects the timeless struggle and triumph every family encounters,” said Manapul via a press release provided to Comic Book Club. “Telling this type of story comes at a poignant intersection in my career and personal experience, and I couldn’t have found a more perfect collaborator in Pete. The team at Ghost Machine is dedicated to giving the readers a fun and thrilling experience, and, most importantly, characters you’ll look forward to growing with. Come and join the Rocketfellers’ family this November!”
Added Tomasi, “I love exploring and diving deep into family dynamics with this series because that’s something every reader can relate and empathize with and bringing The Rocketfellers to life with Francis Manapul has been fun, heart-wrenching, action-packed, dramatic and an all-out blast as we let these wonderful characters tumble, stumble and run headfirst into adventures and discoveries of epic and every day proportions. But to simply boil it down, The Rocketfellers is a rollercoaster of emotion and restless dreams as a family runs from their present to save their future. All of us here at Ghost Machine have a singular purpose and that is to make great comic books with engaging characters and enthralling stories.”
The Rocketfellers #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, November 20, but you can check out the covers to the first issue, below.
