Jun 11, 2025This issue hits a fever pitch of drama and suspense. As the time gets closer for the nuke to go off, and at the same time the battle between Tariq and Ash intensifies, it really creates an amazing atmosphere for this issue. Geoff Johns masterfully set all of this up, and just when the powder keg was at the peak of volatility an amazing swerve takes place. This is a master class in writing. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Jun 14, 2025Tariq Geigers story reaches a resting point beyond all the conflcit, but there is clearly more on the horizon ad Johns and company work their way through a story that might end up delivering one of the longer-run post-apocalyptic wasteland heroes in the history of sci-fi. So often the main character of a post-apocalyptic world really is the world itself. With Geier, Johns has made a super-heroic character who is actually quite a bit more interesting than the world that he inhabits. Its compelling stuff. Read Full Review

Plot The nuclear bomb beneath Lewistown explodes, and Geiger removes his boron rods and attempts to absorb all the radiation. He even absorbs Ashley's, curing her, which is exactly what she wanted. However, the radiation is higher than expected, and Ashley relents and helps Tariq absorb it all. The radiation levels drop to zero, while General Blackwood warns President Griffin that it's all over. Griffin has radiation-derived powers that he has yet to reveal. Junkyard Joe is disconnected due to the electromagnetic wave, and Nate wrests him from The Custodian. Geiger, Molotov, Ashley, Nate, Junkyard Joe, Barney, and Zig Zag escape the army's reach and are about to leave in a pickup truck, but Ashey abandons them. Geiger asks Molo more

This issue wrapped up a great story with a tearful ending in a good way.The artwork is always great and I'm looking forward to future issues with this kind of high quality writing and art.

Ashley Arden's change of mind was a bit too sudden, considering she had worked on her batshit crazy plan for such a long time. Anyway, Tariq returning to the children he rescued made up for it. Art is perfect as usual.

This might have been one of my favorite issues. It felt like the stakes were there and leads to some growth in characters.

Another good issue. I have to admit that I teared up a bit when Tariq introduced Nate to the kids as his friend. I think Ashley Arden is a good character, and I'll miss her. I like the resolution of the bomb story and how it elevated both characters. Good stuff. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/5Fh_JhMLVdQ
