Rook: Exodus #4

The cliffhanger this issue was tremendous as the creative team really set it up nicely. Rook: Exodus is an elite level title and is setting up to be not just one of Ghost Machine's strongest titles, but all of Image as well. Read Full Review

ROOK: EXODUS #4 is a glorious display of pulse-pounding drama and action on every single page. We've criticized the series for its lack of clarity on world-building, but this issue is so much fun that you can't help but marvel at the cinematic imagining of beasts at war. Geoff Johns has a winner on his hands, and Jason Fabok's art is simply stunning. Read Full Review

Rook Exodus #4 is a heart-pumping, foot-tapping, eyes-widening roller coaster. The action doesn't stop and the emotion oozes off the page like something out of a classic science fiction thriller. If you haven't placed Rook Exodus on your pull list yet, you're doing yourself a true disservice. Read Full Review

As competent as it is with the basic action of the situation, there simply isnt enough hard science in the series to make it terribly compelling as a concept. Its good superficial action fun, but it could be SO MUCH more of Johns and Fabok were interested in getting a bit deeper into the science of the situation. The encyclopedic entries on The Wildlife Grid and the Warden Helms at the end of the issue do a pretty good job of going in the right direction, but the series could gain a lot from getting more seriously into wildlife biology.  Read Full Review

As far as new comics and new worlds goes, the one the Rook: Exodus team has crafted has managed to keep my attention. Read Full Review

This continues to be one of my favorite books on the shelf each month. The art needs no more said, it's amazing. The story continues to really grab my attention. I'm already a sucker for things animal related, animal familiars and things like that. Dystopian futures is also one of my favorite genres, so this one has a lot going on that's squarely in my lane. Geoff Johns is doing a really great job making the various wardens unique and interesting, as well as building the world around them. I loved the way Rook had more sympathy and connection with the pig than he does his own birds heh.

Plot Ursaw and his wardens of pigs (the one who stole Swine's helmet) and snakes arrive at the Oasis, Carapace manages to evacuate all the children and women, but the brutal attack of the bears is not expected. Rook and Dire Wolf go to meet Ursaw but their paths divide, and Dire Wolf faces Kaa, Dannica's former enemy, the guardian of the snakes, while Rook faces the one who stole Swine's helmet, there are two amazing happening at the same time, they both win and go to help Carapace, who is defeated by Ursaw. Ursaw is powerful and manages to defeat Carapace, Dire Wolf and Rook, sending the latter into the dam's lagoon. This comic narrates all these sequences with an addictive accelerated pace, which fills it with tension when Rook and Dire Wolf's wildlife control helmets malfunction, frequently losing control of their animals. Rook assures that the animals hate the Wardens, that it is increasingly difficult to make them follow orders. This series is amazing, it is a mix of John Carter From Mars with Jurassic Park, with epic and biblical scales. Art Jason Fabok offers his art so detailed where everything makes sense, recreating new worlds with futuristic technology and making it believable, each page hypnotizes and gives chills, playing with the scales of this entire world with a cinematic vision. Summary Rook and Dire Wolf finally face Ursa and her army of wardens, this chapter is intense and exciting where we see the abilities of each guardian to the fullest. more

Another great issue with awesome art and world-building. Rook and Direwolf take on the Bear Warden and his henchmen. Some good fight scenes and a cliffhanger ending. Looking forward to the next issue. My comic review channel - https://youtu.be/E531mLm2Odk

Maybe I am just missing something here but the plot is an absolute mess. The art is great and the concept is good but it feels like the action and dialogue are out of sink with each other. If I was being honest it felt like the art was completed before the speech was inserted. This happens way to much and usually when the writer is spinning to many plates. Sorry only my take and I will quietly drop the title.
