When the mysterious floating eyeball sends one of the Rocketfeller family members to the ER, a squad of heavily armed intruders converge upon their home. The only one left to defend it? The cute, little dog Rex. Pray for the invaders…
The plot thickens as the family is doing the most average thing in the world: dealing with an unexpected kid issue, and worrying about it. Completely unaware that their 2025 life, and their futuristic/their present life are both in danger. Despite the incredibly unique and efficient security system they have at home, they're still on the radar of some potentially dangerous people. Also, their daughter's new pet just created another issue. An issue that took me by surprise as we learn a little more about the Rocketfellers. Read Full Review

Wooow this issue is a bomb of a read!

Plot
Rae's little bird, Kirby, takes the mysterious eye Roland has been analyzing. This eye is in the nest by Rae's window.
Rae mysteriously faints at breakfast and is taken to the hospital. Roland and Rachel painfully watch as she is analyzed there using such rudimentary technology.
The Rocketfellers' neighbor, Tony, is attacked by a team of mercenaries sent by brothers Nicholas and Yuri, who are tracking down the person who stole their fortune through hacking. After proving themselves wrong, they go to the Rocketfellers' house, which is empty because they were in the hospital. Rex, the family dog, possesses robotic parts and neutralizes all the mercenaries, puts them in the vehicle that arrived, drives them away more
Another great issue with a cool cliffhanger.
