Aug 12, 2026This ever-growing world continues to expand while not leaving anyone behind. This collab of 3 different comics from the Ghost Machine world perfectly kept all of our characters in sync with the personalities we’ve gotten to know, while simultaneously making it easy to follow for anyone jumping in now. Mrs. Rocketfeller continues to be an amazing mom looking out for the kids, no matter how out of control the problems they create are. Meanwhile, our celestial and demon kids never miss a moment to remind us of their sibling-style relationship. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Aug 12, 2026Johns and Tomasi have very big plans for the Unbelievables universe. Right now it might just be a couple of ongoing series, but there are a lot of ideas radiating out of different parts of the universe that are going to have to wait for quite some time to develop on the page. Tommy’s next destination appears to be heading towards a character who isn’t destined to meet her first full appearance until 2027. And there have been mention of quite a few other characters that all seem equally interesting, but they’re all going to have to wait to be introduced in time... Read Full Review

Aug 12, 2026As the issue ends on a satisfying note setting up The Unbelievables brand with a welcome shared new focus. Tommy settles into the role as a unifying presence who could pop up at any time. Not too coincidentally a larger threat is also established that could be a constant threat for any of The Unbelievables series. With The Unvelievables brand set for a significant expansion, now is a great time to jump on board and enjoy another shared universe within the Ghost Machine imprint. Read Full Review

Richie makes peace with his mother, Rachel, and gives her a spaceship he built himself as a gift.
Sterling discovers that the virus that caused him to lose control isn't from the future; it comes from another trillionaire teenager named Vanderbrook, who controls Dr. Moreau's island, a pla more -

This crossover event was OK, but I really could’ve done without it. I’ve been happily buying Hornsby and Halo for some time now. I don’t want to have to buy a bunch of other different series in order to get the story.
Rocketfellers is okay. But I’m not really interested in getting into that series. Trillion Dollar Kid has its moments, but I’m just not invested enough to continue following this story either.
Now the last page of this comic shows that this Unbelievables arc will continue into both the Hornsby and Halo series as well as Rocketfellers. I am NOT interested, nor am I happy with this. If this is where the series is headed I just might have to consider dropping Hornsby and Halo from my pull list.
