How were the other two? I picked up Rook on a totally random whim after I picked it up and glanced at the art, and needless to say I was FAR from disappointed. Absolutely loved it. Haven’t read anything else Ghost Machine related though.
@@portlandgoose4727 my home is an hour away from my work. There is a comic book store I frequent which is quite busy. The one in my home town, not so much. Sometimes when I go to the small comic book shop I can still find stuff that is sold out in the busier shop. Yesterday I went to the smaller shop and picked up Rook: Exodus variant cover. They had 3 of the A cover Rook books and had Geiger A cover and the variant cover on the shelf (1 of each) 6 days after the release date. Even had the Ghost Machine book. I already had it so I passed. I purchased the Redcoat book but haven’t read it yet. I added Rook to my pull list.
I haven't read it yet, but I'll have my copies soon. I'm very excited for this universe to unfold. Between Ghost Machine and DSTLRY, my budget is going to be really pushed, and I'll likely have to take a long, hard look at what I'm reading from DC and Marvel, and deciding which titles actually bring me joy, and which ones I can read later on....if at all. Question - why did you say that you didn't want to like Redcoat?
Seriously loved this book. Rook definitely looks cool as hell, and I'm thinking on whether or not I'm gonna dive into the Unnamed books. Definitely going to check out the Hyde Street stuff, as I'm a sucker for horror. Also, I totally get what you mean about Redcoat, lol.
If Ghost Machine is smart they should try to attract Japanese artists in the terms that is familiar to their culture, in the form of KOMPE or competitive pitch submissions. It's very natural for Japanese artists to respond to this format, and is also part of internal company work life and the traditional arts circuit. Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man bosses were both created like this. I'm not kidding, they might be able to poach Aka Akasaka and Tatsuki Fujimoto, maybe Kengo Hanazawa perhaps. Part of japanese copyright and "outdated" ways, is that participating in these events is not limited by working at a company that owns EVERYTHING you work on, they only own what you do IN that company. There's routes to do indie work and get it treaded like a club activity, because the cultural importance view on creativity isn't beholden to zero-hour contracts that affect your entire existence. West typically smears thiese practices for things like "not crediting artists" when companies simply protect the privacy OF their artists, while the company takes any heat from "offensive" content. That's how Japan avoided SJW culture.
Looking forward to reading more Red Coat, Rook Exodus, Hornsby & Halo, The Rockefeller's and Hyde St. Also, if they make a Red Coat movie, Chris Hemsworth is THE guy to play the role. 😂
I'm right there with you about Rook. I loved those 5 pages.
Just picked up the Rook: Exodus, Geiger, and Redcoat comic books on the release date (yesterday). Excited the most for Rook: Exodus.

@@portlandgoose4727 I enjoyed Geiger. I want to see more. I have not read Red Coat. I will follow Geiger too.
@@modelflyer2003 i went back to the comic store to grab Geiger and Redcoat. Geiger was sold out, but I enjoyed Redcoat a lot more than I expected to!

I'm hooked on Rook & Geiger... can't wait for the rest of the releases
I liked Rook, Redcoat and the Rocketfellers.
We got a peek into a character from First Ghost, plus names for a couple other upcoming titles (Devour and The Soulless).
