GEIGER #8 will set hour shorthairs on edge when Geiger and Nate enter an idyllic town unaffected by the ravages of nuclear war. Geoff Johns successfully creates an uneasy atmosphere, with a town that may or may not be on the level, and the guest art team's output is stellar. That said, readers looking for more progress on the main plot may feel this side quest is unnecessary. Read Full Review

Geiger #8 continues the journey of our rag tag group of protagonists, well setting the table for whats to come. This issue and series have really hit its stride and has become a truly epic tale. Issue 8 is for all intents and purposes a story build/connector issue, but it still gives you some top tier stories, well moving the plot and suspense for next issue and beyond. The fact that Geoff Johns can take a setup story and turn it into gold speaks volumes to why hes one of the best writers in the industry. Read Full Review

Plot Geiger, Nate, Zig Zag and Barney arrive in the intact town of Grover's Corners, where Beverly, Carol and Ronald were born and live. In this place trapped in time there is food and all the comforts of the time before the nuclear explosion, apparently its geographical location in the form of a valley protected them from the radioactive winds and can only be accessed through a tunnel. The children's father receives them with respect, but punishes the children by burning all the books they brought with them, the desire of the community leader is to forget what the past was like so that they do not reborn a humanity that eliminates itself with bombs. In this world all people are disturbed in a different way, but in a radical way. The re is a powerful reference to the work Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury about tyranny and the destruction of knowledge by denying the past. The leaders of the different districts, who live as colorful but cruel characters, want Geiger's head and plan to use it to stage a coup against President Griffin. Geiger, Nate, Zig Zag and Barney are already leaving this paranoid city when they are approached by the New King and his army. This comic improves with each issue and maintains a cohesive and addictive narrative rhythm, Geoff Johns continues to highlight social decay and how a sick humanity faces this crisis. Art This issue welcomes artists Paul Pelletier, Andrew Hennessy, who offer art with a different tone and more focused on narrating with dynamic sequences. Rob Leigh's lettering is an explosion of onomatopoeic adrenaline. Summary Geiger, Nate, Barney and Zig Zag arrive in a town trapped in time, where it seems that a bomb never exploded, but not everything is as it seems. more

Still fun and engaging eight issues in. To me it's like Ult Spider-Man, just slow and steady with quality dialogue and superb character development. I hope everyone sticks with it for the long run. The whole fahrenheit 451 thing was a fun addition.

Well written and drawn. Not a lot happens in this issue, but it has some cool dialogue and themes. Looking forward to the next issue.

Even with the different artist, Geoff Johns writing and dialogue really keeps this series engaging.

Nice good Geoff Johns writing here. Paul Pelletier and Drew Hennessy on art are great but nobody like Gary Frank.

It's not very eventful, but it's a good read.

Geiger continues the downhill trend, and it’s not actually the artist’s fault, but the fact that Geoff Johns focuses a bit too much on Geiger‘s affection for books. What started as an interesting character trait that showed Geiger‘s humanity and idealism is now becoming the main plot, and it comes across as preachy.

My biggest concern about the direction of this comic recently is the use of various more original stories from the past. The mass burning of books during WW2 , the Book of Eli , the burning of comics in the 50's along with the many districts of the Hunger games with a little of Divergent thrown in as a side dish. I loved the first 5 issues but it really is starting to tread others stories way to much and is starting to loose it's own brilliant identity. Hopefully the team can get it back to a more modern version of a culture Clint Eastwood film but I'm rather doubting it just now. Shame as this had so much going for it at the start and my biggest gripe was the very uneven art at times. The USP of this book has to be the awesome art that g rabbed me in at first.........JM more
