The critically-acclaimed hit sci-fi series continues! The mission to save Bloodhound leads Rook, Dire Wolf, and Matterhorn into the deepest tunnels of Exodus…where Arachnid awaits. Thousands of mutated spiders swarm from the shadows, threatening to end mission to save the planet. And when the mysterious Warden known as Stag makes his move, another Warden may not make it out alive.
This book continues to impress. The reader is never without suspense or action (you pick your poison), as we meet new and wonderful characters, learn more about the mystery behind Exodus and are left wondering what will happen next with each and every issue's close. Read Full Review
Rook: Exodus hasnt missed a beat since its return last month. The series comfortably rests on an elite level and as the creative team continues to expand this world its only going to get better. Read Full Review
Rook: Exodus #8 takes a hard shift into horror territory, as it continues the quest to save Bloodhound from himself (and other forces). Read Full Review
Is ROOK: EXODUS #8 worth a slice of your comic budget? Only if you thrive on icy tension, existential team-building, and a planet-sized dose of misery-fueled hope. The issue spins a visually sharp, thematically rich but often exhausting yarn, with standout moments tangled in webby repetition. Buyer beware: there's plenty to chew on if you value mood and world-building, but don't expect a pulse-racing, twist-packed thrill ride. This one parks itself squarely in the "consider but don't impulse-buy column for any discerning comic investor. Read Full Review
We need more!!
Plot
Rook, Dire Wolf, and Matterhorn reach the Better-World Corporation's power base, the location Wildfire Grid indicated as Bloodhound's last known whereabouts. This place, situated in a frigid zone, is abandoned, and they have to rappel down into its depths.
Rook's birds are agitated by the presence of cobwebs. Rook's connection with his birds and with the pigs of the deceased Ursaw is harmonious and empathetic.
Bloodhound attacks his daughter, Dire Wolf, with disproportionate aggression; he doesn't recognize her. Matterhorn stops Bloodhound, who runs away, heading for a massive spider nest that forces them all to retreat. Suddenly, another Warden appears with katanas, ready to kill Bloodhound. His name is Stag more
Gabe is a baw.
The best comic out there.
I like the book a lot. My only really issue is with that’s it pretty padded storytellling. This is a cool issue for visuals in which almost nothing happens.
Another great issue. I love the look of the stag warden with the red helmet. The goat warden is cool, too. The introduction of warden after warden, each with its own unique design. This story is finite, however. I hope it doesn't start to drag like Void Rivals. That one really needs to end. Rook has a good twenty issues more, in my opinion, unless Johns figures out how to make it fresh again.
