Editorial Reviews

The story and art are both fantastic.” -Forces of Geek

“Character to plot to setting, everything in GEIGER clicks into place, making for a superb story that just radiates excellence.” -Multiversity Comics

“Describing the book in five words or less, Frank and Johns stated, 'Walking X-ray kicks ass!' and 'Radioactive family man;' after reading the first issue, I can confirm that both descriptions are more than correct.” -Comic Crusaders

“A clever twist on post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland warring tribes.” -Comicon.com

From the Publisher

A man safely locks his family away in a fallout shelter prior to a thermonuclear exchange. However, he locked himself out and took the full brunt of an atomic bomb that, strangely not only didn't kill him, but left him with a terrible gift of unimaginable radiation that must be constantly corked, like a genie in a bottle. As a kind of immortal, the man (now known as Geiger) walks the chaotic earth like a knight errant, attempting to always keep his family safe from post-apocalyptic bandits and the henchmen of the new King of Las Vegas. Bonus artwork in the back. Johns (Flashpoint) and Frank (Kin) have produced a beautifully rendered story with overtones of Mad Max and The Terminator. VERDICT The sublime coloring makes this graphic novel a sparkling gem in this genre. Although the story does not feel original, fans of high-quality graphic artwork, reluctant super-antiheroes, and bombastic fight scenes will truly love this ambitious and wonderfully composed book.
