GEIGER HARDCOVER: Deluxe Edition Coming Next Month

Image Comics and Ghost Machine appear to have exceptional timing. In the wake of the success of the Fallout live-action series looks like the perfect time for them to release the deluxe hardcover edition of the first volume of their nuclear apocalypse tale, Gieger. Coming out in early June, this deluxe edition not only collects issues #1-6, but it also includes never-before-collected selections from Geiger 80-Page Giant #1, and over 30 pages of bonus material.
Created by industry heavyweights Geoff Johns (Superman, Green Lantern, Batman: Three Jokers) and Gary Frank (Superman, Supergirl, The Incredible Hulk), Geiger is set 25 years from now, where a nuclear war has ravaged the planet and desperate outlaws battle for survival in a world of radioactive chaos. Out past the poisoned wasteland lives a man even the Nightcrawlers and Organ People fear. His name is Tariq Geiger, whose body has transformed into a living nuclear reactor waiting to explode. And he will do anything to protect his wife and children, sealed inside a fallout shelter and completely cut off from him. But the Warlords of Vegas want Geiger dead and if his family must be released into the toxic soup, so be it.
The series lives up to the reputation of its creators. The art is beautifully detailed and suitably gritty, supporting a complex and quirky narrative, with a mix of clever and quirky ideas that should appeal to Fallout and Mad Max fans. This is a great jumping-on-point for anyone who’s been on the fence or missed the initial release. For newcomers to the series, you can check out the first issue on the Image Comics website here.
Geiger deluxe hardcover (ISBN: 9781534327474) will be available at local comic book the Fallout live-action series releaseshops on Wednesday, June 5 and at independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, June 18.
Geiger is also available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play
