In "The Gift," the first chapter of The Rook, Cat McCall is drawn into a high-stakes heist when Quarb recruits her to steal Restin's Time Machine—only for her to flee through time to escape Victorian London. With the airship destroyed and Restin believing Quarb dead, the real danger has only just begun, as Quarb escapes with the mysterious Morlock in tow. Written by Steven Grant and illustrated with striking precision by Paul Gulacy, with colors by Jesus Aburtov and letters by Nate Piekos and Blambot, the cover by Paul Gulacy captures the story’s tense, timeless intrigue.
