Executives Out At Ghost Machine, Revealed By Indicia & April Solicits

Executives Out At Ghost Machine, Revealed By Indicia, as well as April 2026 solicitations with Geiger, Redcoat and the Offiical Guidebook

Sometimes you can work out what's going on in comic book companies purely by looking at the indicia of the comic books. Because a) important people at comic companies who don't write, draw, colour, letter or even edit comic books still want to be credited for them and are powerful enough to make sure it happens. And b) the second they go, the company in question can't wait a second longer to get their names off the book.

And it seems that Ghost Machine has had two unpublicized senior leadership departures within the last year, the termination of its head of development in early 2025, followed by the resignation earlier this month of the executive overseeing development, who had been promoted from business development last year.

Jamie Iracleanos was a producer on the Swamp Thing TV series as well as Hogan Knows Best, My Big Redneck Vacation, and Comic Book Men. He was at DC Comics for over six years as Creative Director, Creative Affairs and then Director of Development, joined Geoff Johns as VP of Development at Mad Ghost Productions for over five years, which predated Ghost Machine, which he joined in 2023 as SVP Development & Production. However, his credit disappeared between Geiger #12 and #13, around March 2025. Bleeding Cool hears that his departure was not at his own doing.

While Cory Salter, Senior Vice President of Ghost Machine since January 2023, previously VP Creative & Business Development and the executive overseeing development, is now demoted as of this month on his Linkedin to Senior Adviser. Bleeding Cool heard that he resigned his position.

Here's Ghost Machine's April 2026 solicits kicking off with the Ghost Machine Official Guidebook. I wonder what the indiccia will reveal?
