He was then made Editor-In-Chief at AfterShock Comics before the publisher announced bankruptcy. Cunningham also created a comic book storytelling course for UCLA, which he teaches.
Brian Cunningham says "Ghost Machine reimagines the original Image Comics model with fresh and intriguing new characters that readers will fall in love with. I couldn't be more excited to join this monster roster of talent, most of whom I've worked with over the years. In a way, it's like a family reunion!"

Tomasi, and Maytal Zchut, published by Image Comics. They collectively issued a statement, "We are thrilled to welcome Brian to the Ghost Machine family. Most of us have had the privilege to have him edit our work over the years and we admire his endless passion, dedication and attention to detail that make Brian the best comic book editor in the business."
Cunningham edited Ghost Machine's upcoming launches of the all-new ongoing Geiger series, and first issues of Redcoat and Rook Exodus , which will go on sale on Ghost Machine Day on the 3rd of April.
