THE LONG AWAITED SECOND ISSUE ARRIVES! Superman continues his mission to find a cure for what’s killing Lex Luthor. When the present has no answers, maybe the future will! But will the Legion of Super-Heroes help Clark find a cure for a man like Luthor?
Ghost Machine’s superstar creators—Jason Fabok, Gary Frank, Bryan Hitch, Ivan Reis, and Peter Snejbjerg—join forces with The Rocketfellers‘ Francis Manapul for an epic second issue double-page spread spanning the “four known realities” of this groundbreaking creator-owned collective. The spread will appear in the upcoming The Rocketfellers #2, which will be published by Image Comics and hit shelves next month.
Ghost Machine launches The Rocketfellers on November 20 with issue #1. As the 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.
Written by Peter J. Tomasi and Manapul, with art by Manapul and lettering by Rob Leigh, 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.
The Rocketfellers #1 will be available at comic book shops next Wednesday, on November 20:

In Geiger, Tariq Geiger, his two-headed wolf Barney, and their surprising newfound companion begin their quest along the radioactive roads of the former United States to find a cure for the Glowing Man’s nuclear-powered condition. But in order to obtain the information they need, Geiger’s crew must first help a local sheriff catch and kill a masked raider that’s pillaging the town. But what Geiger ultimately discovers chills him to his glowing green bones. And the ElecTrician isn’t far behind…
Meanwhile, in Rook Exodus, the man known only as Rook wants out. He reckons anywhere is better than the crumbling planet Exodus, where all of nature—especially its imported animal population—has grown out of control as the world’s engine has utterly failed. Scavenging for an escape vessel, he’s interrupted by the power-hungry bear master named Ursaw, who won’t stop until he rules all of what remains of Exodus. Also: Who is the mysterious Dire Wolf? And is she Rook’s ally…or enemy?
In Redcoat, readers meet Simon Pure, the newest Unnamed hero. British redcoat and all-around rogue, Simon mysteriously became immortal in 1776 after a run-in with the clandestine cabal known as the Founding Fathers, which included George Washington, John Hancock, and many other prominent American Revolutionary War leaders. Since that fateful day, Simon has led a life of adventure and avarice, rubbing elbows (and sometimes fists) with many of history’s most renowned figures, including his nemesis Benedict Arnold, Albert Einstein, Annie Oakley, and many more. One thing they all agree on: they never want to see him again! But what are the true origins and extent of Simon’s power and the mysterious organization behind them? And how has it secretly shaped America and the world? Simon’s on a quest to find out!
