ToggleMany major publishers dominate the comic world, but a few mavericks always buck tradition and try to go about things their way. Ghost Machine is one of the most recent and popular of these publishers. With a creator-led line of comics (in which the creators have 100% ownership and creative control), Ghost is taking on the big names of the world.
What is the most amazing thing about this bold plan (from legendary writer Geoff Johns)? It’s working in a big way. More and more lines emerge from Ghost yearly, with 2024 being one of its best. As it slowly builds a name among serious collectors, Ghost is thriving and touching the lives of readers everywhere. Here are some of their most recent and exciting lines.
Geiger
The flagship title for Ghost and the one that started it all, “Geiger,” is fast becoming one of the world’s most beloved comic series by an independent publisher. In 2024, “Geiger: Ground Zero 1 — 2” and “Geiger (2024) 1 — 7” came out to mass acclaim and success. Featuring an atomic wasteland with an unforgettable hero, “Geiger” is a series for serious comic fans to check out.
Ghost Machine One-Shot
The Ghost Machine Comics one-shot was one of their highest-selling publications in 2024, thanks to collecting 64 huge pages of amazing artwork and fantastic stories. It was a bonanza of popular Ghost characters. Geiger, Redcoat, Rook, The Rocketfellers, and others came together in a massive, one-time story that kept readers on the edge of their seats with each page.
Redcoat
Is there anything cooler than an immortal British redcoat from the Revolutionary War fighting in a post-apocalyptic wasteland? If so, we haven’t seen it yet! In 2024, “Redcoat 1 — 6” came out and pushed the story of this handsome, wisecracking soldier even further. Over 200 years of fighting experience makes redcoat Simon Pure capable of handling business.
Rook
In a divergence from the post-apocalyptic style of the previous books, “Rook” focuses on the titular character settling on Exodus to find a new life on a dying planet. As the only warden left there, Rook has to face some pretty serious questions about his fate and life. Gripping from page one, this story is perfect for those who want a little more sci-fi in their comics.
Hyde Street
Are you into the many shades of horror and want a comic that’s more than willing to go places others won’t? “Hyde Street 1” pushes the envelope in every way. This anthology features lots of drama and scares but isn’t afraid to focus on characters. With dense mythologies and truly fascinating stories, this new comic from Ghost is one of its most popular and worth reading.
There’s More to Come Soon!
As Ghost continues to put out bigger and better comics, it’s clear that this publisher is more than capable of taking on the big league! There wasn’t even room to talk about “Junkyard Joe,” one of its most popular and long-lasting publications. Clearly, Ghost has hit a formula people like and is likely to keep putting out quality work as long as there are people out there buying it.
