About the GEIGER series:

Written by Geoff Johns (Green Lantern, Shazam!, JSA, Aquaman) and illustrated by Gary Frank (Doomsday Clock, The Incredible Hulk, Batman: Earth One, Shazam!), Geiger launched Mad Ghost’s imprint at Image Comics to critical and commercial acclaim, introducing a new universe of mysterious heroes throughout history called The Unnamed. Set 25 years in the future, Geiger centers around a radioactive family man named Tariq Geiger who spends his days and nights doing anything he must to protect the fallout shelter housing his family. When Geiger fights off a group of violent scavengers, he faces the wrath of the criminal empire they are connected to. Johns and Frank also recently collaborated on the launch of Junkyard Joe, a Geiger spinoff about a heroic robot soldier.
