PORTLAND, Ore. 08/23/2024 — The Ghost Machine line is on fire this week with multiple issues selling-out at the distributor level. Image Comics will rush Geiger (2024) #2 and Geiger (2024) #3 by Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, and Brad Anderson, Rook Exodus #2 and Rook Exodus #3 by Johns, Jason Fabok, and Anderson, and Redcoat #1 by Johns, Bryan Hitch, and Anderson all back to print in order to keep up with the line-wide escalating demand.
“A huge thanks to every reader and retailer who’s continuing to help build the momentum around these books,” said the Ghost Machine creators in a joint statement. “We continue to be exhilarated by the response to these books full of new characters, concepts and creativity!”
In Geiger, 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…
Meanwhile, in Rook Exodus, the man known only as Rook wants out. He reckons anywhere is better than the crumbling planet Exodus, where all of nature—especially its imported animal population—has grown out of control as the world’s engine has utterly failed. Scavenging for an escape vessel, he’s interrupted by the power-hungry bear master named Ursaw, who won’t stop until he rules all of what remains of Exodus. Also: Who is the mysterious Dire Wolf? And is she Rook’s ally…or enemy?
In Redcoat, readers meet Simon Pure, the newest Unnamed hero. British redcoat and all-around rogue, Simon mysteriously became immortal in 1776 after a run-in with the clandestine cabal known as the Founding Fathers, which included George Washington, John Hancock, and many other prominent American Revolutionary War leaders. Since that fateful day, Simon has led a life of adventure and avarice, rubbing elbows (and sometimes fists) with many of history’s most renowned figures, including his nemesis Benedict Arnold, Albert Einstein, Annie Oakley, and many more. One thing they all agree on: they never want to see him again! But what are the true origins and extent of Simon’s power and the mysterious organization behind them? And how has it secretly shaped America and the world? Simon’s on a quest to find out!
