That feeling when buying 10 copies of a single issue is the cheapest option available on eBay!!?!

Rocketfellers is here! It was fun and sets up nicely for a good story to unfold. I really liked the artwork. Had to snag the B cover also. Geiger was okay, not my favorite issue but I love the story and the character.

Trish Forstner and Tony Fleecs here!

Artist and writer of:

Stray Dogs

Feral

And now hosting a Backerkit project for the new Stray Dogs plushes together with Dynamite Entertainment!

Ask us anything about our projects and more!

=========

Trish and Tony will be answering questions starting 22nd of November 5PM EST (2PM PST, 22:00 GMT, 23:00 UTC) but you are more than welcome to already drop your questions in this thread!

Does anyone know why the they changed artists halfway through the story (and halfway through the 4th book) ? I was loving the art we got the first 3.5 issues, it was some of the best art of the year.

Does anyone know if we’re going to get Robinson back? Or why the change happened in the first place?

My library only had TPB vols. 1-8, so I had to go grab 9 and 10 to see how it ended and can I just say I friggin loved it. What a great series. Top to bottom. I didn’t think it dragged or got repetitious like some.

They'll be here to answer all your questions and to promote the new Stray Dogs plushes (and other Stray Dogs and Feral goodies) now live on Backerkit:

GONKBONK REVIEWS: THE ROCKETFELLERS #1

The latest addition to Ghost Machine's growing lineup of eclectic and imaginative series, The Rocketfellers, brings a charming, family-oriented twist to the sci-fi genre, courtesy of Peter J. Tomasi and Francis Manapul. While I wasn’t initially drawn to this title after reading the Ghost Machine #1 primer earlier this year, The Rocketfellers #1 turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

Read the full version of this review here.

Review:

What immediately struck me about The Rocketfellers was its fun, family-centric approach to a sci-fi story. While The Rocketfellers may seem like your run-in-the-mill nuclear family at first, writer Peter J. Tomasi does an excellent job making each of their charms shine through the various adventures and mishaps they go through. From the action-packed opening sequence to the lighthearted family fun, this first issue is packed with all kinds of set pieces that give you a great taste of what this series is all about. I really enjoyed this comic’s twist on the classic fish-out-of-water trope.

Francis Manapul’s vibrant, retro-futuristic aesthetic imbues the comic with a palpable sense of wonder, making the futuristic tech and sleek designs stand out in sharp contrast to the mundane present-day setting. Whether The Rocketfellers are dodging danger or sharing lighter, more personal moments, the art beautifully conveys their chemistry throughout every scene.

Of course, this is just the beginning, and there’s plenty of room for the story to grow. The potential for character growth is immense, and if handled well, could make for some truly compelling storytelling in future issues. With its charming cast of characters, intriguing premise, and gorgeous artwork, this series has the potential to be a standout title for both Ghost Machine and Image Comics. Whether you’re a fan of Ghost Machine’s other offerings or just looking for an engaging, family-friendly comic, The Rocketfellers is well worth checking out.

Why You Should Read The Rocketfellers:

• It offers a fun, family-friendly sci-fi adventure with broad appeal
• The stunning artwork by Francis Manapul featuring a unique retro-futuristic style
• The fish-out-of-water premise has plenty of potential for both drama and comedy
• The underlying mystery about their missing adds depth to what could otherwise be a straightforward family story

So I've never really been a crime thriller kind of guy. I tend to like my stories being more supernatural or sci-fi. But when it was announced that Chris Condon was going to be the writer for Ultimate Wolverine, I decided to check out his previous work to get kind of a taste of what I could be in for.

....Holy crap, this book is awesome! Which is weird for me because I've tried watched gritty movies and shows like it and wasn't invested. I think the medium of comic book storytelling just made this story click for me. That and Condon's writing is spectacular.

I'm excited for what he's gonna do on Ultimate Wolverine, and I'm kind of wondering what other crime thriller/noir comics I've missed out on because my stubbornness to engage in a genre I'm not that familiar with.

Anyone got other good recommendations for books like That Texas Blood? Because I'm definitely ready to dive head first into a new genre (at least for me).

Highlight of this years Thought Bubble was getting my DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH hardcover signed by James Tynion & Martin Simmonds, who also did this amazing Star-Faced Man painting for me…

[New Releases]

Hi! Recently been reading a lot of Image comics, rn almost finished Black Science and boy oh boy... it's incredibly good. Could someone give me another recommendation? Something with great art and story full of twists, better if it involves alternate realities and/or time-travel. Basically I am looking for "hell yeah!" and "no way!" emotions if that makes sense XD

Series I already read and liked:

• Infinite Vacation
• Saga, Private Eye and all the other Brian K. Vaughan books (will read Paper Girls later on)
• East of West (hard to find HC 3), as well as other Hickman stories like Black Monday Murders
• Gideon Falls
• Descender
• Eight Billion Genies

Any other Remender series as good as BS? Should I try Seven to Eternity or Fear Agent? Read first trade of Deadly Class and didn't like it all much.

Wicked + Divine, Monstress didn't really click with me.

Thanks in advance!

From DANIEL WARREN JOHNSON, the creator of the Eisner-nominated series EXTREMITY, comes MURDER FALCON
The world is under attack by monsters, and Jake's life is falling apart: no band, no girl, no future... until he meets Murder Falcon. He was sent from The Heavy to destroy all evil, but he can't do it without Jake shredding up a storm. Now, with every chord Jake plays on his guitar, the power of metal fuels Murder Falcon into all-out kung fu fury on those that seek to conquer Earth. It's time to shred

So I went shopping and got some books. I read through Chew already and thought it was really great (i might get the rest of the series when the compendium is released). Whats your opinions on the other series?

(BTW I know Shazam is out of place in here, just ignore it.)

I need a whole Shadowhawk comic in this style tbh

If any one still cares I was talking too Brendan Fletcher at a comic convention about the comic Isola he said volume 3 was done not sure if he meant both the art and or writing. He said there will be flashbacks to a new royal character from the next place they are going to in the story. Also mentioned there would be a big death in that volume. He didn’t say much about volume 4 but might be written or planned out already. He said everyone wants it to go into production but it’s complicated with image. He said the art was too time consuming for the amount the artist were getting paid so he said they were thinking about doing it as a kickstarter but the series is likely still a few years away from happening but it’s just about figuring out what’s the best route to get it going again.

This Mr. X Ray variant demanded I take him home. 😂

I collected Image Comics titles for about a year and a half, when they first launched back in 1992. It's been over thirty years, but I'm trying to get back into it. I'm looking for recommendations, but of brand new or newer titles (because I don't want to start a series that already has twenty issues out). Back when I was collecting, Image was only putting out superhero stuff, which I still love, but since then, it looks like they've moved more into Vertigo-type territory, which is fine by me, as I also love darker/mature-themed stuff. In the comic books subreddit, I was recommended Saga and The Department of Truth, but I think those have been out for a while (although I could always get the compendiums). Someone also recommended the Ghost Machine titles, which appear to be newer. In any event, I would love to hear more suggestions along those lines or superhero title suggestions, even if they're from another publisher.

Hey I am looking for a new comic series to read. I have some free time and I really need to get lost in a good story

What I have read so far:

• Invincible
• Eight Billion Genies
• We Live
• Beneath The Trees where Nobody Goes
• Radiant Multi-Verse
• Deadly Class
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle
• All of the Ghost Machine Comics
• Saga
• Thunder Cats
• Space Ghost
• Green Lantern (A Bunch of different Runs)
• I hate Fairy Land
• The Flash (A Bunch of different Runs)
• Batman (A Bunch of different Runs)
• Batman Beyond
• Teen Titians (A Bunch of different Runs)
• Rick and Morty
• Conan
• Red Sonja

I do wanna know if image ever plans on releasing an “Image firsts compendium 4”. I believe it’s a great way to introduce readers into new stories, that they may not have ever given a chance otherwise. And for the price, WOW… unbeatable. Or at least they could release something like it.
