There is no point beating around the bush when it comes to discussing the ownership problem in mainstream comics. For decades, the Big Two have churned out storylines featuring their legacy characters with freelance writers and artists who rarely own the work they make — a model that benefits corporations more than creators. Image Comics is among the few indie publishers who have honored creator ownership since their inception, which has led to the creation of a sprawling cast of characters. As writers and artists take the wheel of their artistic freedom, an ambitious new endeavor is born.Written and illustrated by Jason Fabok, Gary Frank, Bryan Hitch, Geoff Johns, Francis Manapul, Peter J. Tomasi, and more with inks from Danny Miki, colors from Brad Anderson, and letters from Rob Leigh, Ghost Machine #1 is a collection of previews to characters and stories that form the debut of the creator-owned company Ghost Machine. Each tale is a self-contained exploration of Biblical beings, supernatural creatures, or products of freak accidents roaming desolate lands, showcasing different aspects of the creators’ storytelling skills.The mere mention of “Redcoat” brings Simon Pure’s past to the forefront. Johns also writes the Redcoat story — this time, joined by artist Bryan Hitch, turning the old man’s tale into a retrospective journey through time. Hitch’s signature close-ups and tense panels of firing guns and unsheathed blades look good, but the segment is more of a preview for the upcoming series than a complete story. Straying away from the on-the-edge vibes of the Unnamed Saga, the book turns a dystopian corner. Johns collaborates with Jason Fabok in “Rook: Exodus” to fly readers to a distant planet. With a mix of complex world-building and dynamic pencil work, this preview promises a comic full of tense survival drama and cool animal powers.
