mettre à l'abri, mais pas Tariq Geiger. S'il réussit à placer sa
famille en lieu sûr, il n'eut jamais le temps de les rejoindre. Vingt
ans plus tard, dans un monde ravagé où des hors-la-loi se battent

guerrier phosphorescent serait parvenu à échapper au nouvel ordre
mondial... Un guerrier obsédé par la protection d'un certain
bunker...

About the author
Geoff Johns
2,701 books2,410 followersGeoff Johns originally hails from Detroit, Michigan. He attended Michigan State University, where he earned a degree in Media Arts and Film. He moved to Los Angeles in the late 1990s in search of work within the film industry. Through perseverance, Geoff ended up as the assistant to Richard Donner, working on Conspiracy Theory and Lethal Weapon 4. During that time, he also began his comics career writing Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. and JSA (co-written with David S. Goyer) for DC Comics. He worked with Richard Donner for four years, leaving the company to pursue writing full-time.
His first comics assignments led to a critically acclaimed five-year run on the The Flash. Since then, he has quickly become one of the most popular and prolific comics writers today, working on such titles including a highly successful re-imagining of Green Lantern, Action Comics (co-written with Richard Donner), Teen Titans, Justice Society of America, Infinite Crisis and the experimental breakout hit series 52 for DC with Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka and Mark Waid. Geoff received the Wizard Fan Award for Breakout Talent of 2002 and Writer of the Year for 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 as well as the CBG Writer of the Year 2003 thru 2005, 2007 and CBG Best Comic Book Series for JSA 2001 thru 2005. Geoff also developed BLADE: THE SERIES with David S. Goyer, as well as penned the acclaimed “Legion” episode of SMALLVILLE. He also served as staff writer for the fourth season of ROBOT CHICKEN.
Geoff recently became a New York Times Bestselling author with the graphic novel Superman: Brainiac with art by Gary Frank.

This was neat! My wife got it for me for Christmas and there’s something about sitting down with an oversized comic with great art over the holidays. I’m intrigued to see where this universe goes next!

Fun page turning read. Super crushable. I throughly enjoyed my first dip into Geoff John’s “UnNamed” universe and will definitely be revisiting.

Tarik Geiger a survécu a un tapis de bombes nucléaires mais au prix de sa famille... et de son humanité.
Un comics post-apo, un héros radioactif et des conflits entre mini-communautés politique à la recherche de la valise nucléaire : incroyable ! Un récit one shot mais qui s'inscrit dans un univers plus vaste, que j'ai très hâte de découvrir !

Reads like a superhero story set in the Mad Max franchise.
The story is alright. After a new the world is not save to traverse anymore with a hazmat suit. Except for the protagonist, who got his powers from the radiation of the nukes. Meanwhile the government collapsed and local settlements have their own brutal rules in place for survival.
The origin of the glowing man is explored and a typical chase around the country is told. The book reads very quick but doesn't feel particularly unique. This volume covers just one story arc. There's some bonus stories at the end which are completely skippable and drag the whole reading experience down.
The artwork is on fire though and clearly the standout feature here.
Not sure I will continue with future volumes. I'll go ahead and sample Junkyard Joe, which is a spin-off in the same universe.

Loveee the world building in this story so much. I am in for the ride. So short, yet so good. Geoff Johns just knows how to reach me with his writing and then you have the legendary Gary Frank bringing his a-game with the most cinematic artwork you ever seen. Mannnnn I want MORE ! 🔥

LOVED IT! It's like a cheesy, yet awesome action movie with a hint of Mad Max and The Warriors. Violent and action packed!

(Zero spoiler re'view)
About a month ago (before I lost my shit and stopped reading Geoff John's Green Lantern), I swore I was never touching another book by him again. Sadly for me, I had already ordered the deluxe edition of Geiger. I was kind of hoping that John's incompetence extended only as far as superheroes, and that his indie stuff wouldn't suffer the same fate. After issue one, I was pleasantly surprised to say I was wrong. Really good first issue. Unfortunately, I kept reading, and I realised just how right I was. Geiger is shit. This world is absurd and has no consistent grounding in anything remotely realistic or plausible within its own defined universe.
So much of this comes across as goofy nonsense for no other reason than 'its a comic book', so it can be filled full of any stupid absurdism and it's fine because, 'it's a comic book'.
The two child characters, from their moronically executed introduction to somewhere around issue four where I gave up and started skimming, was torture. Pure cancer in page form. The 'big bad' is hardly any better. Why is he somehow in charge? Four issues in and I'm wondering why people are subservient and in fear of this cowardly retard? Oh, yeah, its a comic book, its allowed to be dumb. Believe me, there is far more elements to this that deserve to be ripped to shreds for the sad and sorry excuse for a story it is, but I don't do spoilers, and I really can't be assed. Grow up, Geoff, and learnt to write.
The story certainly doesn't deserve Gary Frank's art, which is the one shining light in what was a very regrettable purchase. Rest assured, I will be selling this onto some other unsuspecting consumer for a very cheap price. I want it as far away from my shelves as possible. Avoid at all costs. 2/5

A bit standard postapocalyptic story with a radioactive superhero with Gary Frank's great art.
Themes of what you would do for love in a cruel uncaring world.
It's part of a larger universe and maybe that's bit to the detriment for the originality of the story since it needs to fit in archetypes.

Damn this book is SO GOOD!!
I’m jealous…
Now I’m going to buy and read the other Ghost Machine deluxe edition hardcovers as they come out (Junkyard Joe is next).

I enjoyed the first six issues a lot, I'll certainly give the next volume a go. I've got to say that the expanded universe anthology stuff at the end wasn't really to my tastes.

Collected this story in single issues, bought the trade, and then I also bought the oversized deluxe edition. This is a really good story with phenomenal art.
