In the far future, the man known only as Rook wants out.

Scavenging for an escape vessel, he's interrupted by the power-hungry bear master named Ursaw, who won't stop until he rules all of what remains of Exodus. Also: Who is the mysterious Dire Wolf? And is she Rook's ally... or enemy?

I love this series so much, keep up the amazing work Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok! Every Ghost Machine book leaves me wanting more!
The art is doing some lifting here, but I appreciate the straightforward, unpretentious nature of this book. It feels like something from Heavy Metal or 2000AD in a good way.
