And the Character line-up looks insane! Geoff Johns is bringing GEIGER to Ghost Machine, and plenty of original characters will be following!
GEIGER – Set twenty-five years in the future after the mysterious UNKNOWN WAR, husband and father Tariq Geiger lost his humanity in the aftermath of the nuclear war that took his family from him. Now, capable of absorbing radiation but struggling to contain it, Geiger is known as THE GLOWING MAN. He’s the last person you want to cross paths with… or if you have no one else to turn to for help, maybe he’s the first.
JUNKYARD JOE – In 1972 during the Vietnam War, a young soldier and cartoonist-to-be named Morrie “Muddy” Davis encountered an unexplainable, deadly but loyal mechanical soldier. Convinced by the Army that what he saw wasn’t real, Muddy created a popular Sunday Strip called JUNKYARD JOE®. Decades later, Muddy comes face-to-face with his old robotic friend…and those looking to turn JOE back into a weapon of war.
REDCOAT – eluctantly fighting for Britain during the American Revolution, Simon Pure stumbles upon the Founding Father’s secret mystical organization and inadvertently gains the power of immortality. Jaded by humanity over the decades, Simon becomes a cheeky mercenary looking for a hot meal and to make some easy money while pursued by an endless list of deadly enemies, ex-lovers, and bill collectors.
ROOK EXODUS – A struggling farmer from Earth was given a second chance on a world where every aspect of nature was controlled by humanity, including the winged scavengers who plagued his crops. Now called Rook, the farmer became one of the Wardens and must choose between trying to escape this war-torn world before it’s destruction…or fighting to save it.
HYDE STRET – A whole new generation of epic horror begins with a walk down HYDE STREET. In every town, in every city, and off every country road in every corner of the world… you can find your way here. Get ready to meet MR. X-RAY, PRANKY THE SCOUT, THE COLONIST, and many, many more wonderfully intriguing and terrifying characters, all soon to thrill your senses and populate your nightmares.
ROCKETFELLERS – In the 26th Century, where everything seems to be picture-perfect, the dysfunctional and imperfect ROCKETFELLER family discovers their future is in jeopardy and the only place safe from harm is to escape to the past where they have to adapt and hide their distinctive futuristic traditions to the Earth of 2024 which, to them, is filled with strange customs and even crazier people. But that threat hasn’t quite stayed in the future where it belongs.
HORNSBY & HALO – HORNSBY AND HALO stars two kids on the verge of puberty…with no clue how pivotal their role in the universe is. Thanks to a divine agreement between the forces from Above and Below, two children of Angels and Demons swap families at birth to prevent a cosmic war of epic proportions in a classic story of nature versus nurture.
