The aforementioned IP is the creation of comic book industry heavyweights Geoff Johns, Jason Fabok, Brad Anderson, and Rob Leigh.
With that kind of artistry backing “Rook: Exodus,” you already know you’re in for one heck of a ride. By continuing below, learn more about the experience that “Rook: Exodus” provides.
A Story of Survival in a Crumbling World
At its core, “Rook: Exodus” is a story about survival. In this Ghost Machine creation, readers are introduced to Exodus, a planet taken over by humanity after leaving a crumbling Earth behind. However, all is not well in humanity’s new home.
Chaos ensues when the engine driving Exodus fails. The failure of the world engine leads to a shift in power that likely spells doom for the inhabitants of Exodus. With the powerful and influential already escaping Exodus, all that’s left are precious few resources and the remaining inhabitants fighting amongst themselves to survive.
That is the setting in which readers join Rook.
Rook is seeking a way to escape the deteriorating planet around him. Of course, escape from Exodus is far from easy for inhabitants like Rook. Aside from trying to escape using limited resources, Rook must also find a way to contend with other desperate inhabitants and increasingly hostile wildlife.
What readers will find inside “Rook: Exodus” is a story unlike anything else in comic books. It’s one well worth exploring for anyone looking to embark on a story about struggling against the greed and desperation of man.
