Who are The Unbelievables? Ghost Machine’s First Crossover Kicks Off in May

The Unbelievables

Image Comics and Ghost Machine have revealed The Unbelievables which debuts this May. This rebranding and expansion of one of Ghost Machine’s four original universes—formerly known as Family Odysseys—will be anchored by the critically acclaimed ongoing series The Rocketfellers by Peter J. Tomasi and Francis Manapul and Hornsby & Halo by Tomasi and Peter Snejbjerg. Joining The Unbelievables Universe will be The Trillion Dollar Kid by Geoff Johns, Tomasi, and Stefano Simeone.

To mark the unveiling of The Unbelievables, both The Rocketfellers and Hornsby & Halo will release special issue #0s in May—prologues to the event as well as standalone entry points designed to welcome new readers while revealing secrets for longtime fans.

Then in June those worlds collide as the four-part crossover event “WHO ARE THE UNBELIEVABLES?” which begins introducing several major new characters joining the line, including The Trillion Dollar Kid. Created by Geoff Johns, Peter J. Tomasi, and Francis Manapul, The Trillion Dollar Kid serves as both a guide and catalyst—linking characters, stories, and lore as the true scope of The Unbelievables begins to reveal itself.

Driven by the Trillion Dollar Kid’s search for the one thing money can’t buy, the four-part “WHO ARE THE UNBELIEVABLES?” brings together the Rocketfeller family, Rose Hornsby, and Zachary Halo in an incredible adventure while laying the foundation for what comes next.

Among those being introduced are 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 a whole lot more, as seen on the newly revealed UNBELIEVABLES map.

Additionally, Ghost Machine Guidebook #3, hitting shelves in June, will spotlight THE UNBELIEVABLES and feature covers by Gary Frank, Bryan Hitch, and Ivan Reis.

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.

The Rocketfellers heads back to print after a double sell-out at the distributor

Image and Ghost Machine’s time-traveling adventure The Rocketfellersby writers Peter J. Tomasi and Francis Manapul with art by Manapul and lettering by Rob Leigh—has sold out completely at the distributor. Both issue #1 and #2 of this exciting new series, set in Ghost Machine’s Family Odysseys universe, are being rushed back to print by Image this week in order to keep up with escalating demand.

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!

Ghost Machine’s Rocketfellers #2 features a two-page jam piece uniting Ghost Machine’s artists and characters

Ghost Machine’s superstar creators—Jason Fabok, Gary Frank, Bryan Hitch, Ivan Reis, and Peter Snejbjerg—join forces with The RocketfellersFrancis 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 GeigerRedcoat, 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.
