Description
The creators of the groundbreaking, bestselling Batman: Three Jokers unleash their first creator-owned sci-fi series together with Ghost Machine’s ROOK: EXODUS. Written by GEOFF JOHNS with art by JASON FABOK and BRAD ANDERSON, this first collection introduces readers to the man known only as Rook. Hundreds of years from now, the man known as Rook was once a simple farmer who fled the crumbling Earth for a new life. He traveled to the planet Exodus, a terraformed world where all of nature, including its imported animal population, was completely controlled by humans called Wardens. But when Exodus’s world engine failed, the Wardens’ power fell into the wrong hands, creating chaos and mass evacuation…for those who could afford it. The rest, like Rook, must scavenge for an escape vessel as the war for control of what’s left of Exodus begins. Collects ROOK: EXODUS #1-6 “This science fiction,_ Mad Max-_like story is the beginning of something extraordinary.” —**Nerd Initiative**
