Brad Anderson and Rob Leigh go exclusive with Ghost Machine
Colorist Brad Anderson and letterer Rob Leigh have officially joined the ranks of Ghost Machine‘s exclusive creator roster published by Image Comics. Globally recognized as absolute masters of their craft, Anderson and Leigh have already been integral to Ghost Machine’s success since the company’s official launch at New York Comic-Con in October 2023. Anderson and Leigh have joined fellow Ghost Machine co-owners and co-creators Jason Fabok, Gary Frank, Bryan Hitch, Geoff Johns, Lamont Magee, Francis Manapul, Brad Meltzer, Ivan Reis, Peter Snejbjerg, Peter J. Tomasi, and Maytal Zchut, who are all fully exclusive to Ghost Machine for their comic book work once projects already committed to have been completed.
Anderson and Leigh’s quality was on full display in Ghost Machine’s recent triple sell-out of its debut issues Geiger #1, Redcoat #1 and Rook: Exodus #1. Image Comics, which publishes all Ghost Machine titles, rushed all three first issues back to print, with second issues following this month.
In Geiger #2, Tariq Geiger, his two-headed wolf Barney, and their surprising newfound companion begin their quest along the radioactive roads of the former United States to find a cure for the Glowing Man’s nuclear-powered condition. But in order to obtain the information they need, Geiger’s crew must first help a local sheriff catch and kill a masked raider that’s pillaging the town. But what Geiger ultimately discovers chills him to his glowing green bones. And The Electrician isn’t far behind… Geiger #2 from Johns, Frank, Anderson and Leigh is in stores this week.
Redcoat #2 picks up with Simon Pure hunted by a bloodthirsty cult. The immortal mercenary discovers his powers may have its limits and the former British soldier must accept help from a 12-year-old genius named Albert Einstein. Redcoat #2 from Johns, Bryan Hitch, Anderson, and Leigh, publishes next week.
Rook: Exodus #2 introduces new allies and threats. With the imported animal population growing out of control and the world’s engine failing, the warden known only as Rook must now also face the power-hungry bear master Ursaw, who won’t rest until all of Exodus’ wardens are dead. As Dire Wolf also hunts down Rook, only one question remains about the wolves’ pack leader…is she friend or foe? Rook: Exodus #2 from Johns, Jason Fabok, Anderson, and Leigh, goes on sale Wednesday, May 22.
