Geiger #9

Like Redcoat #8, this issue teased a significant collision of several major players in the Unknown War timeline. Something huge is about to development in this section of the Ghost Machine titles and seems like its going to be pretty exciting. Read Full Review

Geiger #9 was a climatic second part to this mini Grovers Corner arc. The battle with the New King and his Knights is some of the best action in comics in recent memory. Geoff Johns has built a world where the line between hero and villain is very blurred. The teases at the end involving other characters from the UnNamed Universe are very exciting. Read Full Review

GEIGER #9 is a relatively satisfying end to Geiger's visit to Grover's Corners. Geoff Johns uses the climactic battle to shake up the status quo of Geiger's enemies and bring the radioactive anti-hero one big step closer to a crossover with other ghost Machine characters. Plus, the sizeable art team's presentation is outstanding. Read Full Review

The central idea is appealing enough without being overwhelmingly captivating. Its a big challenge to get everything going. Johns and company have some difficulty treading between the novel and the familiar, but the ninth issue of the current series manages the right kind of ballance to keep everything moving from beginning to end in a largely satisfying chapter for the ongoing series that continues to find appealing angles on the tradiational after-the-bomb sci-fi setting. Its going to be interesting to see where Johns and company take the series next. Read Full Review

Plot Geiger, Nate, Zig Zag, Barney, Beverly, Carol and Ronald are intercepted by the new King, Geiger and Barney stay fighting, while Nate takes the children and Zig Zag to hide behind some concrete walls. The New King has a Tungsten armor with Titanium that makes it impossible for Geiger to melt it, apart from attacking them with Boron powder, however Nate bathes him with water and Geiger unleashes his rage and kills everyone, the New King attacks him and his energy emission goes out of control and manages to melt his helmet. Nate manages to calm him down and Geifer almost kills him, Barney intervenes and Nate places the Boron bars on him, which makes his radiation disappear. This comic reveals that Nate has an advanced disease due to high exposure to radiation, both from Geiger and the environment, so his crusade is to help because he has little time left. The Queen and the seven district leaders learn of the New King's death and prepare for an attack. President Griffin and The Custodian arrive at the site where Geiger eliminated the New King, where Junkyard Joe arrives to investigate, they also show Red Coat and the one who is chasing him in other eras, thus closing this story arc but beginning the next one that promises to reveal the relationship between the three heroes. Geiger gives Nate a piece of the New King's sword, which can kill Geiger. He asks him to use it when he loses control again. Both continue on their way to find the cure for Geiger. 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 Paul Pelletier and Andrew Hennessy offer art with a different tone and more focused on narrating with dynamic sequences. Rob Leigh's lettering is an explosion of onomatopoeic adrenaline. The epilogue is illustrated by the hyper-detailed and striking art of Gary Frank. Summary Nate once again witnesses Geiger's unbridled power, and new enemies and mystery promise to be revealed in the next story arc. more

Solid issue. Geiger never lets you down. I really didn't like Nate at first, but every issue has improved his character.

The writing is just done in a manner that even when you know what's coming it reads well. I need this TV series adapted Netflix come on. Paul Pelletier's art is great and detailed and a worthy fill-in art until Gary Frank comes back.
