by Olly MacNamee
For fans of cool comic book art, then you might want to check out Ghost Machine’s The Rocketfellers #2 by Peter J. Tomasi (writer), Francis Manapul (artist), and Rob Leigh (letters). It will feature a stunning double-page spread featuring art from Ghost Machine’s Manapul, Jason Fabok, Gary Frank, Bryan Hitch, Ivan Reis, and Peter Snejbjerg.
After taking the industry by storm with a streak of sell-out titles from Image Comics, Ghost Machine launched The Rocketfellers #1 comes out on Wednesday November 20th featuring the titular Rockefellers a “futuristic family hides out in “the simple days of 2024,” and struggles to fit into the present, they’re also pursued by a relentless threat from their time”.
“This second issue unveils the villains’ search through all four corners of Ghost Machine’s realities—including those of the American history of hidden heroes “The Unnamed” (with Geiger, Redcoat, and Junkyard Joe), the sci-fi breakout hit Rook: Exodus, the twisted terrors of Hyde Street(who is that deadly scout?), and The Rocketfellers’ own “Family Odysseyes” with the upcoming Hornsby & Halo, which is the ultimate experiment in nature vs. nurture by Tomasi and Snejbjerg.”
Talking about organising this art jam, Manapul states:
“The amount of effort everybody put into those panels is inspiring. Aside from loving the pure artistry of each of the artists, it also hammers home to me—and I hope the readers—how wonderfully distinct the entire line of books coming out from Ghost Machine is, and what a wide breadth of genres and compelling characters that are incredibly brought to life by the passion of their creators,” added Tomasi about the collaboration.”
