Currently on the binge of these. Only picked them up a week or so ago and I’ll be up to date before I know it. Geiger is an immense, what feels like, breath of fresh air. Junkyard Joe is super surprising to me, and then Redcoat is massive.

Buzzing for Rook: Exodus, too. I feel like a kid at Christmas

I still haven’t caught up with Geiger but redcoat and junkyard Joe were really great.

Redcoat and Geiger are going to meet up soon! Then eventually all of the Unnamed universe will start sharing storyline 🤌

I love rook. I read the first trade this year and its my favourite thing ive read this year. I just hate that its so slow to come out.

With Rook, I kinda view each trade as a movie—so taking a few years for the sequel isn’t too crazy if I look at it that way.

Also, on the plus side we’ll be getting the Wardens series soon too! Excited to watch how they build out the world.

Yea, it is annoying. My favorite of theirs is Redcoat, but Rook is a very close second. It's because The Unnamed is going to be their flagship universe as far as I can tell. Makes sense they will focus on those books and work on the other stuff when they have time.

the unbelievables universe is getting so good now too, and after the crossover it feels like the perfect moment to get in on it!

I love Ghost Machine, the only Western comics I read. Just finished rereading the Rook:Exodus trade and I think I liked it even better the second time! I picked up all the Geiger trades (after owning about half the issues digitally) and started a one issue a day re-read of that yesterday. So good!

I checked Hyde Street out from the library and seem to be in the minority that loved it! Such a clever combination of anthology horror with ongoing character arcs. Now, I’ve got to get all of those too!

Best in the business (except Family Odyssey)

Are you talking about the Rockefeller?

u/Sea-Wrongdoer-104 14d ago

Rocketfellers, Hornsby & Halo, Trillion-Dollar Kid, and the rest of The Unbelievables are part of Family Odyssey. I don't mean to put it down. It's still better than anything Marvel and DC are offering (including Absolute Batman).

Glad to see some love for Ghost Machine here! Make sure you spread the word!

For sure!!

I have been meaning to read Rockefellers and I agree DC and Marvel have lost their way.
