Rook

"It's as good as sci-fi action adventures get in many ways." --AIPT Rook settled on Exodus for a new life, but now he's a lone avian Warden on an alien wasteland with one burning question to face: Fight or flight? Written by Geoff Johns with art by Jason Fabok and Brad Anderson, this first collection introduces readers to the man only known as Rook. Hundreds of years from now, a farmer by trade and lineage, Rook left Earth as it began to collapse. Promised a better life on Exodus, a terraformed planet where all of nature, including its imported animal population, was completely controlled by humans called Wardens, including Rook, who controls the world's crows. But when Exodus's world engine failed--and many Wardens' power fell into the wrong hands--the resulting chaos led to mass evacuation...for those who could afford it. The rest, like Rook, must scavenge for an escape vessel as the war for control of what's left of Exodus begins. The creators of the groundbreaking and best-selling Batman: Three Jokers unleash their first creator-owned sci-fi series together with Ghost Machine's ROOK: EXODUS in this first deluxe edition hardcover. Collects Rook: Exodus #1-6.
