Despite the delays this series has been a lot of fun and the Amy Reeder artwork is fantastic. For those who haven't checked it out yet the first five issues are collected in trade.

Collects ROCKET GIRL #1-5. A teenage cop from a hightech future is sent back in time to 1986 New York City. Dayoung Johansson is investigating the Quintum Mechanics megacorporation for crimes against time. As she pieces together the clues, she discovers the “future” she calls home—an alternate reality version of 2014—shouldn’t exist at all! Rocket Girl returns this fall with #6 and a new arc!

After a significant hiatus the series returned this week with a new story arc.

"SPLIT SECOND" ROCKET GIRL RETURNS FOR A SECOND TIME-TRAVELLING STORY ARC! In 1986 NYC, DaYoung Johansson vowed to hang up her helmet and jetpack--now there's no one's left to right the city's wrongs. And what could possibly be happening in the time-travelling 2014 that shouldn't exist at all?

I read the first issue and thought it was ok, not spectacular, and decided to trade wait if I was going to read anymore. I really like Reeder's art in general since I first discovered it on the Matt Wagner Vertigo Madame Xanadu series, but the first issue's story didn't really hook me in, and I haven't even though of the series again until I saw this post. Maybe I'll check out the trade, but it's way down on my to buy list so it will be a while.

Apparently the new issue of this came out recently which is the first time it's been published since November of 2015. That's quite the hiatus. I need to track down the last issue and ask about the current one when when I visit my LCS later this month.

Here's the recent solicit info from the Image Comics website and here's a three page preview.
