Retro Rocket #4

In the climactic "Soul of an Old Machine Conclusion," Retro Rocket faces his ultimate choice as the Quorum’s true nature is revealed—his people are alien minds that inhabit human hosts until the bodies are consumed. With Sparky and the weary Zithri by his side, Retro must decide whether to sacrifice himself to destroy the Quorum’s central core, or find another way to end the parasitic cycle. Written by Tony Bedard and brought to life with bold, unified art by Jason Orfalas, this 2007 Image Comics issue delivers a tense, emotionally charged finale to a story that redefines what it means to be human. The cover, also by Orfalas, captures the moment’s gravity in stark, striking detail.
