Dragons have been a mainstay of our collective imaginations for so long that their ancient existence has permeated out across myriad cultures and mediums. We find tales of dragons going back through the centuries, infusing into our mythology, and interwoven into our fantasy. They command awe, reverence, respect, fear, and above all, a sense of magic and wonder. But what happens to these majestic creatures when they become commonplace, used as chattel, disregarded as trivial, and reduced to tools of production, sources of meat, or worse?

Advance Review: Rook: Exodus #1 from Ghost Machine
