A COSMIC, TIME-TRAVEL ADVENTURE BEGINS IN IMAGE/GHOST MACHINE’S UPCOMING THE ROCKETFELLERS SERIES LAUNCH THIS NOVEMBER
PORTLAND, Ore. 08/21/2024 — Fan-favorite writer Peter J. Tomasi (Batman and Robin, Super Sons) and Shuster Award and Inkwell Award artist Francis Manapul (The Flash, Clear) team up for Ghost Machine’s all-new cosmic, time-travel adventure in the upcoming launch, The Rocketfellers. This highly anticipated ongoing series, set in Ghost Machine’s Family Odyssey universe, is set to hit shelves in November from Image Comics.
In the picture-perfect 25th century, the Rocketfeller family—living a disconnected and emotionally-distant existence—discover a terrible secret: in their hands is the fate of humanity. Hunted down, the Rocketfellers enlist in the Time Zone Protection Program and escape to present-day Earth. If they can’t find a way to trust each other in this strange “ancient” world of today, they and our future will perish!
« 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. “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! »
Tomasi added: “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.”

Franchement, j’espère que nous pourrons l’avoir en VF car le « Ghost Machine » publié en début d’année montrait de belles qualités. Le dessin bien sûr mais l’ambiance et les personnages semblaient bien délurés.
