The adventures of Rocketo Garrison take place in a mythical future 2,000 years after the world has been destroyed. This volume tells the story of Rocketo's idyllic childhood and his early training as an explorer and mapper. After returning from the deadly Solarium War a broken man, Rocketo Garrison is swept away on a journey to the Hidden Sea: a fabled, dangerous land that may hold the key to undreamed of treasure as well as the truth about an ancient mystery.
A visual amalgamy of strong posing, formidable gestural brush techniques, and accents of color all come to terms to aid in one of the most insipred and well crafted stories in comics to date. I burned through 'Journey to the Hidden Sea vol. 2' in the fewest sessions I could. By the end I exhaled, picked up a pen and began my own graphic novel. Highly reccomend- no, required for Indy or mainstream comic enthusiasts alike.
with imagination and ideas like no other book out there

Rocketo is like no other book on the shelf. Every new issue seems to brings new races, characters, locations, etc without ever feeling like its forced. And as such, its one of the few books that even in trade format you read one issue a day and still feel your reading a whole adventure (each issue is 32 pages without ads), thats how much is packed in every chapter. "bang for your buck" indeed. This volume wraps up the first of four proposed "books" of the adventures of Rocketo. Frank Espinosa is quite possibly the Jack Kirby of our generation.

I LOVE THE ACTION, THE SURPRISES, IT SHOWS EACH CHARACTER THEIR PERSONALITY, FRUSTRATIONS, DESIRES, HAPPINESS, AND OTHE EMOTIONS.
