Ghost Machine Announces Their First Comic Book Crossover At Image

by Olly MacNamee

Two special zero-issues of Peter J. Tomasi and Francis Manapul‘s ongoing series — The Rocketfellers #0, and Tomasi and Peter Snejbjerg‘s Hornsby & Halo #0 — will be the springboard for the forthcoming and first Ghost Machine crossover this summer. It all starts with the unveiling of The Unbelievables this May, and later this summer, a new title, The Trillion Dollar Kid by Geoff Johns, Tomasi, and Stefano Simeone.

Following on from this, we get the four-part crossover event ‘Who are the Unbelievables?’ including the debut of The Trillion Dollar Kid, created by Geoff Johns, Peter J. Tomasi, and Francis Manapul. A character who will act as both guide and catalyst. Here’s more on this new character, and the crossover event from mastermind, Johns:

“A boy has discovered there are extraordinary beings among us…a family from the future living in the present, two teenagers destined to rule heaven and hell, and many, many more. A 13-year-old boy the world has dubbed ‘The Trillion Dollar Kid’ — the world’s first trillionaire — is secretly tracking these miracles hiding in plain sight. He calls them ‘The Unbelievables.’ Why he’s searching for them, who else is out there, and what threat aims to corrupt them all will be revealed in our first Ghost Machine crossover event: ‘Who are the Unbelievables?’”

Manapul added:

“We get our first look at Thomas Noble Townsend III — The Trillion Dollar Kid — and the new characters of The Unbelievables in both #0 issues. Tommy widens the lens. Through him, the readers will begin to see just how vast this universe truly is.”

Tomasi commented:

“We’re continuing the stories of The Rocketfellers and Hornsby & Halo. But this crossover kicks open the doors wider — revealing new characters and new corners of this universe that have been waiting in the wings since we launched our titles in 2024.”

New characters including The Deadtones — “a rock band of misfit monsters on the run” — The Curious Creatures of Dr. Moreau, because “sometimes life needs to get a little wild”; Jean Genie, “a genie finally free from her endless existence of servitude and now coming to grips with what freedom means in the modern world”; and more … as seen on the newly revealed Unbelievables map included in the gallery below:

“Who are The Unbelievables? Across the world, people with remarkable — and sometimes inconceivable — abilities and beginnings all try to hide behind ordinary lives. A time-traveling family lost in the present. Two teenagers destined to rule Heaven and Hell. A trillionaire kid chasing the one thing money can’t buy. And many, many more — each on a personal and exciting odyssey shaped by the impossible. What binds them isn’t their secrets, but the bonds they forge — love, friendship, and sacrifice — as dangerous forces rise to exploit what the world will come to know as … The Unbelievables.”
