At its launch, the creators stressed that unlike the work they had done in the past for publishers such as [[DC Comics]], the books of the four shared universes established by the company's first official release in January 2024, ''Ghost Machine'' #1, would not be set in the [[superhero]] genre,<ref name=GMWelcomeYouTube>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JupJQ_JjlNQ|publisher=Ghost Machine Productions|title=Welcome to Ghost Machine|via=[[YouTube]]|language=en-US|url-status=bot: unknown|date=October 11, 2023|access-date=October 21, 2023|archive-date=October 18, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231018161242/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JupJQ_JjlNQ}}</ref> but in other genres such as [[science fiction]], [[historical fantasy]], [[post-apocalyptic fiction]], and [[horror fiction|horror]].<ref name=BleedingCool>{{cite web|url=https://bleedingcool.com/comics/johns-hitch-frank-fabok-tomasi-meltzer-manapuls-ghost-machine/ |title=Johns, Hitch, Frank, Fabok, Tomasi, Meltzer & Manapul's Ghost Machine|author=[[Johnston, Rich]]|publisher=[[Bleeding Cool]]|language=en-GB|url-status=live|date=October 12, 2023|access-date=October 21, 2023|archive-date=October 19, 2023|archive-url=https://archive.today/20231019175721/https://bleedingcool.com/comics/johns-hitch-frank-fabok-tomasi-meltzer-manapuls-ghost-machine/}}</ref>

==History==
The launch of Ghost Machine was announced on October 12, 2023 at the [[New York Comic Con]]. It was touted as a [[cooperative]] media company that would publish [[creator-owned comics]] through [[Image Comics]].<ref name=NewYorkTimes/><ref name=GraphicPolicy/> The company made the announcement at the convention's the Lunar retailer breakfast, with its first convention panel held on October 13,<ref name=ComicsBeat>{{cite web|url=https://www.comicsbeat.com/ghost-machine-image-comics-launch/ |title=NYCC '23: GHOST MACHINE announces comic printing partnership with Image Comics|author=Marsden, Megan|publisher=[[Comics Beat]]|language=en-US|url-status=live|date=October 12, 2023|access-date=October 21, 2023|archive-date=October 21, 2023|archive-url=https://archive.today/20231021141300/https://www.comicsbeat.com/ghost-machine-image-comics-launch/}}</ref> and produced a ''Ghost Machine'' #1 [[ashcan comic]], as a giveway to visitors to the company's booth.<ref name=BleedingCool/><ref name=ComicsBeat/>

The company's founding writers and artists are: [[Brad Meltzer]], [[Jason Fabok]], [[Gary Frank (comics)|Gary Frank]], [[Bryan Hitch]], [[Geoff Johns]], [[Lamont Magee]], [[Francis Manapul]], [[Peter J. Tomasi]],[[Maytal Zchut]] and [[Brad Anderson (cartoonist)|Brad Anderson]]. It was also indicated that other creators would be joining the company after they completed their prior commitments to other publishers. Ghost Machine was conceived with the idea that its founding creators would be exclusive to the company and would jointly own, operate and profit from their creations.<ref name=NewYorkTimes/> The group ownership of the imprint's properties is reflected in the editorial page of its inaugural publication, ''Ghost Machine'' #1, under the headline "Welcome to the First Fully Shared Creator-Owned Universes!" In the accompanying text, the creators state, "We completely co-own our company, characters, and universes together, sharing in publishing, but also in media, merchandise, and beyond."<ref name=GhostMachine1>{{cite comic|title=Ghost Machine|story=Welcome to the First Fully Shared Creator-Owned Universes!|issue=1|page=2|publisher=Ghost Machine/[[Image Comics]]|date=January 2024}}</ref> Novelist/television writer [[Brad Meltzer]] explained the rationale for the company, pointing to how in the American comics history, historically, writers and artists were not able to control or earn considerable profit from creations that went on to become highly lucrative for publishers, like [[Superman]], saying, "The entertainment industry is an ecosystem, and it is ever changing...When you tell the stories of comics themselves, the creator doesn't always come first."<ref name=NewYorkTimes/>

Pointing to the 2023 [[2023 Writers Guild of America strike|Writer's Guild]] and [[2023 SAG-AFTRA strike|SAG-AFTRA strike]]s (the latter of which was still ongoing at the time of Ghost Machine's launch), the company further explained in a press release:<ref name=TheWrap>{{cite web|url=https://www.thewrap.com/ghost-machine-comic-book-artists-writers-media-company-brad-metzler/|title=Comic Book Artists, Writers Launch Creator-Owned Media Company 'Ghost Machine'|publisher=[[TheWrap]]|author=Connelly, Eileen A.J.|language=en-US|url-status=live|date=October 12, 2023|access-date=October 19, 2023|archive-date=October 19, 2023|archive-url=https://archive.today/20231019175953/https://www.thewrap.com/ghost-machine-comic-book-artists-writers-media-company-brad-metzler/}}</ref> 

<blockquote>"As the recent Hollywood strikes have shown, creatives are disenfranchised with the traditional industry model – creators seek increased empowerment as a natural progression to an ever-changing entertainment landscape. Ghost Machine's enterprising business model is at the forefront of this evolution with the characters and full company ownership shared by its creators in every way."<ref name=TheWrap/></blockquote>

<blockquote>"Our ambition for Ghost Machine is to push beyond superheroes, introducing new genres, characters and shared universes, completely co-owned by all the creators involved. We see this as the future of how creatives will work and retain creative control and meaningfully participate in success like never before. Our passion is for the magic of graphic storytelling and the emotional resonance of compelling characters. But we are not just a comic book company – we are the first wholly creator-owned and operated media company of its kind, born out of a desire to create and succeed together."<ref name=ComicBook.com>{{cite web|url=https://comicbook.com/comics/news/geoff-johns-gary-frank-and-more-comic-creators-launch-new-ghost-machine-imprint/|title=Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, and More Comic Creators Launch New Ghost Machine Imprint|publisher=[[ComicBook.com]]|author=Burlingame, Russ|language=en-US|url-status=live|date=October 13, 2023|access-date=October 21, 2023|archive-date=October 19, 2023|archive-url=https://archive.today/20231019175759/https://comicbook.com/comics/news/geoff-johns-gary-frank-and-more-comic-creators-launch-new-ghost-machine-imprint/}}</ref></blockquote>

This was interpreted by Russ Burlingame of [[ComicBook.com]] to mean that Ghost Machine would not restrict itself to publishing screen-friendly intellectual properties, but a media company that would facilitate development of those properties into media adaptations, and Burligame noted that several of the company's founding creators had experience producing work for film and television. It was not clear, however, whether all of the founders would have an equal stake in all of the properties, or if each individual creator owned their individual properties, which had been the standard arrangement at Image Comics since its founding.<ref name=ComicBook.com/>

The company's founders stressed that they would be creating stories set in genres outside the [[superhero]] genre in which many of them had already done work, with Johns saying, "We want to create beyond superheroes." Echoing this, Hitch said of the stories, "Heroes yes. Capes no."<ref name=GMWelcomeYouTube/> The company's launch schedule was to commence with ''Geiger: Ground Zero'', a two-issue series by Johns and Frank released in November 2023 that serves as a prequel to their 2021 miniseries of the same name. This would be followed in January 2024 with the company's first "official" release,<ref name=ComicsBeat/> ''Ghost Machine'' #1, a 64-page special, and then that April with a series of books that would comprise "four shared universes of character-centered titles."<ref name=GraphicPolicy/><ref name=SuperHeroHype>{{cite web|url=https://www.superherohype.com/comics/550981-ghost-machine-launches-image-comics-nycc|title=Ghost Machine: Geoff Johns, Gary Frank and More Launch New Image Comics Imprint|author=Dominguez, Noah|publisher=SuperHero Hype|language=en-US|url-status=live|date=October 13, 2023|access-date=October 19, 2023|archive-date=October 19, 2023|archive-url=https://archive.today/20231019180222/https://www.superherohype.com/comics/550981-ghost-machine-launches-image-comics-nycc}}</ref> ''The Unnamed'', whose first ongoing titles would be ''Geiger'' and ''Redcoat''; ''Rook: Exodus'', a sprawling science fiction epic set in the future; ''Family Odysseys'', which centers upon a family of [[time travel in fiction|time travelers]].<ref name=GraphicPolicy/> 

At its launch the company also stated that its slate of books would include an as-yet untitled [[horror fiction|horror-based universe]] co-created by what the company indicated at its launch was a prominent artist<ref name=SuperHeroHype/> still under contract with another publisher,<ref name=ComicsBeat/> and whose identity would be announced at a later date.<ref name=SuperHeroHype/> [[Bleeding Cool]] reported that the name of that series was ''The Soulless,''<ref name=BleedingCool/> but on December 1, 2023, the company announced that the unnamed creator was Brazilian artist [[Ivan Reis]], and that the universe was ''Hyde Street'', which would also be the eponymous title of that universe's central series, which Reis would illustrate with Johns as writer.<ref name=Yahoo!12.1.23>{{cite web|url=https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/image-comics-ghost-machine-collective-032743292.html|title=Image Comics' Ghost Machine Collective Adds Blackest Night Artist Ivan Reis|author=Dominguez, Noah|publisher=SuperHeroHype|language=en-US|url-status=live|date=December 1, 2023|access-date=December 5, 2023|archive-date=December 5, 2023|archive-url=https://archive.today/20231205142729/https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/image-comics-ghost-machine-collective-032743292.html?guccounter=1}}</ref><ref name=GMYouTube12.1.23>{{cite web|title=JUST ANNOUNCED: Superstar Artist Ivan Reis Joins GHOST MACHINE!|publisher=Ghost Machine Productions|via=[[YouTube]]|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7jw0i_mWkQ|language=en-US|date=December 1, 2023|access-date=December 5, 2023}}</ref>

On December 6, 2023, media sources reported that Danish artist [[Peter Snejbjerg]] would be joining Ghost Machine in an exclusive capacity, as its eleventh creator. Snejbjerg's first work is the book ''Hornsby and Halo'', in collaboration with Tomasi as writer, with whom Snejbjerg previously collaborated on the supernatural DC Comics series ''The Light Brigade''.
