Rook: Exodus Volume 1: Fight or Flight

(W) Geoff Johns (A/CA) Jason Fabok, Brad Anderson. Fight or Flight? That's the question the man known only as Rook must answer. Centuries in the future* Earth is a dying planet* choking on pollution and poverty. The wealthy purchase passage to new worlds* while the desperate work for the company that built them the Better-World Corporation. After a fire reduced his family farm in Illinois to ashes* Rook took a job that came with a one-way ticket to Exodus* a terraformed planet where every aspect of nature is under human control. As a Warden* Rook commands the scavenger bird population. But when Exodus's World-Engine mysteriously failed* the rich fled* abandoning their workers. In the chaos* the Wardens' authority and tech fell into the wrong hands* turning their powers into tools of oppression. Now* with Exodus dying and overrun by factions fighting for dominance* Rook and his allies such as the lawful Dire Wolf and the loyal Swine must decide: will they fight against insurmountable odds or find a way to escape the collapse of another world?
