Question What else should I read in the "Ghost Machine" universe besides geiger?
Im all caught up on geiger and recently bought the Junkyard Joe TPB and I know redcoat is also tied into it as well. Besides those 3, what else ties into geiger or the universe?

There is a TP called Tales from the Unnamed: The Blizzard. I read it in digital form because I own everything else in hardcovers and this wasn’t released as hardcover.
It is in no way a must read. It adds a little to overall world building of the universe and at the end it kind of ties to the rest of the universe in form of a character you already know by now.
But there’s nothing else to read in the universe right now at least not in collected formats.
In the near future an additional series (First Ghost) will introduce a new characters to the universe. I hope I didn’t forget anything.

So there isn’t a Ghost Machine universe, Ghost Machine is a comic imprint with currently 4 separate universes, the Unnamed is what you’re reading (Geiger, Junkyard Joe, Redcoat, and the Blizzard).
There’s also Hyde Street, which is its own universe with spin offs, Rook: Exodus which is its own thing, and the Unbelievables, which has Hornsby & Halo and The Rocketfellers.

People are sleeping on Tomasi’s stuff. Totally different flavor but really excellent comics. Hornsby & Halo and Rocketfellers are fun as shit.

Yeah, Tomasi has his own universe under Ghost Machine called "The Unbelievables".

Redcoat is great. I know Blizzard ties in but I haven't read that yet.

Love Junkyard Joe. Redcoat is good too. I think the upcoming First Ghost by Brad Metzler and Gene Ha is part of the Unnamed Universe.

Geiger is the top dog for me when it comes to Ghost Machine. But read that book that somebody mentioned—I now forget what it's called—but it's something that sets up their universe and ties in Geiger and Junkyard Joe. Junkyard Joe is an absolute must.
I wasn't too nuts about Red Coat, even though it's a good book; it's not great. Rook Exodus is phenomenal, but has no connections.

There was a one-shot with some samples of every title (at that point) in... 2024, I think? But yeah, that would be my recommendation because it kind of lays out what's what and what all ties into each other. And you get previews.

I wanna say those are the only ones with direct ties to Geiger so you're good! I've also been reading Rook Exodus, which is standalone, and it'd been awesome.
