FAMILY ODYSSEYS sets the stage for a family universe full of heart, humor and heroics.
Leading off with Peter J. Tomasi and Francis Manapul’s time-displaced THE ROCKETFELLERS, about a family in witness protection, hiding out from the future in our dysfunctional present. Tomasi and Manapul previously worked together on Batman: The Merciless. Francis Manapul: “Peter and I want to take the readers on the ultimate family road trip, following THE ROCKETFELLERS epic journey from the future to the present where they'll face adversities that could bring them together or tear them apart. Being time displaced outsiders, we'll also have some fun with the family adjusting to our archaic world as well as elevate the scope of the threat they'll have to face together.” Set in the same family universe, HORNSBY & HALO from Tomasi and frequent collaborator, artist Peter Snejbjerg, follows Rose Hornsby and Zack Halo in a small town in Upstate New York. With nothing less than cosmic peace at stake, the two adolescents find themselves at the center of an epic family swap as demon daughter Rose and angel child Zack are made to swap families. What the hell could go wrong?
Peter J. Tomasi: “I'm so excited to be working on the Family Odysseys of books right now - and HORNSBY & HALO has been a blast to write. As I've done with Batman and Robin and Super-Sons, I love crafting stories about young characters going through life-changing adventures, and watching Peter Snjebjerg fill Rose and Zack with so much vibrancy and energy while wrestling with the good and evil nipping at their heels is amazing and we can't wait to share their stories!” GHOST MACHINE #1 is finally arriving in comic book shops this Wednesday, January 24, 2024! Available for $4.99, the eagerly awaited one-shot from Ghost Machine
