Geiger Ground 0 starts a new arc from the superstar creative team of Geoff Johns and Gary Frank. They're moving away from the DC bullpen and returning this story to the radioactive wasteland they created. When the King's knights and the hostile irradiated bugs come hunting, Geiger saves their siblings with his two-headed dog Barney. But can he convince the siblings to stay with him?
The Story
Geiger follows the saga of a radioactive family man who operates as a hero in a post-apocalyptic America. Geoff Johns and Gary Frank have jumped ship from the DC bullpen to Image to create this new title, and they have created something that is both intriguing and refreshing. In this special two-issue series, we will explore the earliest days of Geiger and his struggle to control his new powers. This book will also shed light on the ties between this world and our own, making this title a unique addition to the landscape. It is a must-read for fans of post-apocalyptic fiction.
The Art
The world has been through a nuclear disaster, which hasn't been kind to most people. Geiger Ground 0 follows one man's quest to protect his family from the violent scavengers and self-proclaimed King that rule this strange new world. It's a gritty, explosive sci-fi adventure in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Scavengers roam the irradiated desert, and mobs rule the streets of Las Vegas while a legend lurks on the edges of society. The Johns/Frank team crafted a fascinating story that expands beyond the usual post-nuclear-war narratives. Their characters are layered, and the reader can relate to them. They even toss in two orphans who become Geiger's sidekicks in this dangerous adventure. Expanding their "Unnamed Universe" will be an exciting addition for fans of this comic book genre.
The Writing
Geiger Ground 0 is a must-read for fans of post-apocalyptic fiction. This comic features an intriguing story and beautiful artwork that will appeal to readers of all ages. It is also a must-read for fans of the work of Geoff Johns and Gary Frank. The critically acclaimed team of writer GEOFF JOHNS (Green Lantern, Shazam!, JSA) and artist GARY FRANK (Batman Earth One, Doomsday Clock) bring their bold vision to Image Comics. In a world of radiation-ravaged chaos, desperate outlaws battle for survival, and in the midst of it all is a man that even the Nightcrawlers fear: Geiger! It's an action-packed story with much room to stretch its legs and explore different ideas and genres. The first issue was explosive, and the series will only get better. It earns its spot in this month's "This Month in Comics" partly because of the quality of the writing and how the artists have nailed the tone of the world they are creating.
