The Rocketfellers Volume 1: First
Family of the
Future by Peter J. Tomasi (Author) and Francis Manapul (Illustrator) is a new
series in the Ghost Machine Universe like Exodus
and several other books I have reviewed on here. The Rocketfellers are from the
25th century and they have time traveled backwards to our more primitive time to
hide as part of a witness relocation program. They are to remain here until the
bad guys can be stopped in their time. All they have to do is not cause any
trouble and eventually they can go back. Of course, like any dysfunctional
family, they could not do that.
This is an action-packed sci-fi
adventure with excellent art. Each issue does not really connect very well
together and it is done in a strange way, but I still liked the read. For
example, they do the origin issue, then a Christmas issue, then another issue. There
is not a lot of answers provided about what is going on in the big picture.
That is supposed to be explained in Volume 2.
This first volume is focused on getting
to know the family. You have an ex special forces soldier grandpa, a mad
scientist dad, a former astronaut adrenaline seeking mom, a brainy but immature
son, and a kind hearted young daughter. Also, there is a robot dog.
I am looking forward to reading Volume 2
whenever it does come out. Hopefully, among other things, they will explain the
secret of the eyeball (Yes, there is a mysterious cybernetic eyeball involved).
