The Rocketfellers #4

Issue 4 of The Rocketfellers was the perfect combination of family, mystery, and action. We still got a lot of focus on the family themselves adjusting to living out of their time, while also struggling with the typical issues a family deals with. Meanwhile, the overall story moved forward a ton. While, it felt like we were all over the place (geographically and chronologically), the story still moved incredibly smooth. I was sucked in from the first to the last page. Read Full Review

Raina demonstrates the company's ruthlessness when she travels through time to prevent the Time Zone Protection Program from building a case against Cronex. Raina seems heartless and cruel. Yet a repetitive injury suggests an intriguing link between Raina and Roland in The Rocketfellers #4. Read Full Review

Manapul delivers beautiful art throughout the issue. I like the visual details a lot and how the imagery changes with the tone of the story. Read Full Review

Not a lot of books could find this balance of good-natured family playfulness with the boding sense of danger, but The Rocketfellers is standing out for bringing something refreshingly different to the comic book landscape. Read Full Review

THE ROCKETFELLERS #4 delivers yet another day in the life issue to show how the refugee family from the future is adapting to 21st-century life. Peter J. Tomasi's script is filled with heartwarming moments of sweetness, and the art is some of the best around. That said, the story is going nowhere, so readers will be sorely tempted to tune out.

Plot The whole family is nostalgic for their time: -Rachel longs to fly spaceships again, remembering how she failed to complete several missions after miraculously becoming pregnant with Richie and Rae. Roland encourages her with a very sporty date night. -Richie wants to show off his inventions and is constantly punished. Only his sister knows this. She feels like he'll only miss the clouds moving in the sky from our time, and that we'll soon stop seeing them...she knows something about the future. -Rodney continues his jogging routine, and all the elderly women on the block join him to rejoice at his physique. Rodney isn't impressed by any of them. He's still in mourning, but something is awakening in him because of a new runne r named Carol. Rodney is showing off his athleticism for his age. While the family continues their routine, the Russian mobsters who were robbed have hired an army of hackers to find out who did it; they still have no leads. The story then undergoes several time shifts. First, in 1875, they show how Olivia, the fiancée of Roland's brother, Reggie, continues her work as a time patrolman and visits a key witness named Jeremiah Woodd at the Cronex Corporation trial. She then returns to 2425. But Raina, secretly following Olivia's every move, believes Olivia is about to visit the Rocketfellers at any moment. This is another chapter that continues to set the stage for powerful revelations. Art Full of details and textures that create an interesting and mesmerizing organic effect, all of this creates a futuristic and somewhat terrifying tone. Summary The Rocketfellers are nostalgic for another life and inadvertently attract attention, while Raina and some mobsters are about to attack them at the same time. more

Do you ever give any other rating than 10? I'm glad you're enjoying your comics, but this doesn't look very discerning.

yes I do, please check others review to find out. And remember it's an opinion, we all have different. I find really strange that the only problem to you is my rating.

You want me to have MORE problems with your reviews? LOL But seriously, I don't have a problem with it or the fact you enjoy this book. Your tens just stood out to me. I have since noticed that you are capable of rating a comic worse than ten. ;)

Every issue since #1 felt like filler, and this one is no different. The story is all over the place, and I don't even understand what's happening in some of the scenes. The art is not very good either, so why am I still reading this?
