Ghost Machine’s new series, conceived by Geoff Johns, Peter J. Tomasi, and Francis Manapul, launches the publisher’s first major crossover event, “Who Are… The Unbelievables?” It’s also their first non-superhero title, introducing Thomas Noble Townsend III—a 13-year-old trillionaire who, despite his immense fortune, seeks “the one thing money can’t buy.” With his robot bodyguard, Sterling, Tommy sets out to find extraordinary hidden beings called “The Unbelievables.” The series stands apart from previous Ghost Machine titles, boldly charting a new course for the publisher with its colorful eccentricities and lively tone. By flipping the classic “Richie Rich” concept on its head, the story offers both whimsy and emotional depth, especially as Tommy’s quest to leave his hometown and find his real family unfolds under the guidance of Johns and Tomasi. Stefano Simeone’s dynamic and distinctive art perfectly matches the series’s larger-than-life energy. Though “The Trillion Dollar Kid” might at first seem like a typical coming-of-age story, Johns, Tomasi, and Simeone deliver a genuinely entertaining adventure that opens up exciting new possibilities for the Ghost Machine universe.
