I'm gonna say ghost machine but I really haven't gotten much into the massive verse. I've tried and I don't think it's bad but I'm not really wowed by the story so I kinda fell off it.

Ghost machine. In my opinion, I like that there is more diversity in the stories that are being told. The superheroes in GM are all distinctly different. That’s not to say that I don’t enjoy radiant, black, more so that I just love the content that I’m getting from ghost machine.

Yes, each of the heroes in this line are homage to other heroes like in the Massive verse, I think that the GM heroes are executed are much better compared to the Massive verse

Ghost Machine. I'm excited about that future crossover.

Ghost Machine. I still pick up Radiant Black. But Ghost Machine has stronger multiple titles.

Massive Verse, but Ghost Machine has that early 2000's vibe I enjoy, especially with the art

Ghost Machine for the W!

As an enjoyer of both I think massive verse is a bit of an acquired taste but ghost machine has a larger offering of genres to choose from.

Ghost Machine

Massive Verse. Some of the stories feel personally written towards me and a lot of the creative decisions are just jaw dropping. It has kinda been lacking as of late tho I will say

Ghost Machine but to be fair I haven't tried Massive verse. The power ranger look doesn't appeal to me.

Massive Verse. I feel like the stories just feel more unique in this current climate

It feels like the superhero universe of the 2020's where ghost machine feels very distinctly stuck in the 2000's

Massive Verse, it feels like traditional super hero stories but with some modern things added in, plus every comic ive read from that verse had me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Last year I would have said massive verse but I feel like Radiant Black has lost a bit of steam recently.

I like the Unnamed Universe better than Massiveverse, though I think Radiant Black is probably the single strongest title in either. Geiger, Redcoat, Junkyard Joe are part of the Unnamed Universe. All the other ghost machine stuff is separate. Not to be that guy, but ghost machine isn't a universe. It's a publishing imprint. Naturally, it has more diversity in the stories because they aren't all one universe like Massiveverse is.

I haven't really read Massive Verse so Ill say Ghost Machine for now.

u/Mistervimes65 2d ago

I like both. Ghost Machine has the edge for me because of Junkyard Joe.

very hard one for sure!!! although i think massive verse takes it for me, being a young man i feel i can relate more to the characters especially RB (nathan) but ghost machine is definitely a strong read.

I love massive verse as superhero comics. But I also love Ghost machine for what it is. Especially Rook

u/The_mad_myers 2d ago

Massive verse, I like both but radiant black and rogue son are telling phenomenal stories.

u/Epicturin79 2d ago

Ghost Machine all the way but I also like the massive universe

u/Typhon2222 2d ago

Massive Verse really only has two titles, but they both strong as hell. Rogue Son doesn’t get nearly enough attention.

u/DrTriangleee 2d ago

Massive-verse has some of the best superhero comics today, and has some incredible writing

u/Fit_Commercial3421 2d ago

Ghost Machine. I love rogue sun , but I like geiger more and the family oddessys line alone is better than both titles.

u/DARTHJIM73 1d ago

I absolutely love one title from each. Rook Exodus and Rogue Sun. Outside of those, I don't read any other titles from either, so not sure I could give the edge to one or the other. Rook Exodus is one of the most original scifi comics on the stands. Rogue Sun is probably the best superhero comic on the stands right now (that most people aren't paying attention to).

The Massiveverse.

Radiant Black is my favorite book of the bunch.

I don’t follow much else in the Massiveverse, other than the Supermassives (that seem mostly on hold now.)

I liked No/One and I buy Inferno Girl Red on the occasions where it comes out. Those books are great, too.

Ghost Machine is pretty good but not where I hoped it would be. I mostly am just in on Rook, the Rocketfellers and Redcoat, but none of them blow me away.
