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.

It's all about Barney.
And I'm here for that.
By the end of this, if you aren't a little teary-eyed and a lot invested in wanting to see this 2 headed dog make it to the end of this series, I'm just not sure we can be friends.
Also, Tariq tries to shake The Nuclear Knight, an ex-henchman and now hardcore clinger-on, who was inspired to become a better person after witnessing Geiger save a family in the last volume.
He's pathetic in a way that makes it impossible not to cheer him on, and I found myself pleading with Tariq in my head to just be nice to the poor guy.
As far as sidekicks go, Nate is exactly what Geiger needs.
I loved the first volume and was worried that the series would run out of steam, but this one had just as much heart. Maybe more?
Can't wait to read the next one.

This book looks so freaking good. Gary Frank is such an outstanding artist. In this volume, we get a 2 issue origin and then the first 6 issues of the ongoing Geiger series (finally). Geiger is roaming the countryside like David Carradine in Kung Fu righting wrongs and looking for a cure to his radioactivity. He's accompanied by his two headed dog Barney and a well-meaning but kind of useless knight he's inspired to be better. This book instantly goes to the top of my pile each time it comes out. Just terrific stuff.

I read most of these as single issues last year but I'm glad I revisited this blighted world, particularly as I am now up on how Redcoat and Junkyard Joe fit into things.
If he ever runs into Scare Glow there will be beef.

I wasn't sure after such a huge gap in volumes that the new running series for Geiger would work. Would I care for our nuclear man?
Turns out I do! This is actually stronger than the original mini. Have Nate the Knight, a dude dressed up as a knight following around Nuclear Man and helping him along with his lovely cute doggie as they go through this wasteland with a killer following them is both great in the world building sense, but also some GREAT fight scenes, on top of touching moments (Especially with the doggie). You can honestly jump into this without reading the original 6 issue comic. But this is still a great continuation. A 4 out of 5.

Gary Frank is absolutely on fire. Top of his game. The whole Outlaw Josey Wales, True Grit through line is working for me. Stoked for Vol 3!

Tariq, The Nuclear Knight and Barney may be an unlikely trio walking across an apocalyptic and radioactive wasteland but with Gary Frank drawing I'm in!

Barney may be one of my new favorite comic characters!

With Geoff Johns and Gary Frank, you can't go wrong. Even outside of the clean, crisp storytelling, the pacing is impeccable and the art is stunning. Geiger is on the road, hunting for good books and maybe a cure to what ails him. A Nuclear Knight crosses his path and Geiger begrudgingly allows the fellow to tag along. Together, the duo (plus Barney!!!) get into a couple scrapes and move closer to finding a cure (or another glowing person).
The scrapes are expertly crafted: Frank can draw a fight scene and Johns can create a truly heinous villain. The Nuclear Knight does feel like a small piece in a much bigger story, but there's wonderful breathing space in the narrative, allowing you to truly get a feel for these characters (and fall in love with Barney!).
My only quibble is with the ending, which seemed to draw from something I haven't read yet as it peeled back the curtain on the bigger picture. () Oh, and another point with the ending, or at least how this volume is collected:
Okay, enough spoilers, if you're not reading Geiger yet, get to it.

March 19, 2025
When Russia attacked the United States, Geiger couldn’t get into their nuclear fallout shelter in time. His wife and children watched as the radiation interacted with his experimental cancer treatment, transforming Geiger into a living nuclear reactor. Now, Geiger wanders the land, wondering if he will ever find a cure for his condition.
Nate suggests a potential cure in Geiger TP Vol 2. After a quarter century, Geiger dismisses Nate’s story as a fairy tale. When the Nuclear Knight tries to kill himself, Geiger takes pity on him. He may want Nate as much as Frodo wanted Gollum. Still, if Nate turns on him, Geiger doesn’t have to take him to Mount Doom to incinerate him.
The men and Barney follow a trail of breadcrumbs toward salvation. Geiger and his two-headed wolf look out for each other. Geiger and Nate seek information on a second glowing man while remaining alert for attackers, not knowing someone else pursues them.
The electrician is not the only danger in Geiger TP Vol 2. Radioactive fallout mutated people and animals. A president inhabits another White House. Still, he cannot cleanse the American wastelands of the nightcrawlers, crazed organ harvesters, or bosses who rule their territories.
Geiger TP Vol 2 speaks to our fears about the future. While warning us of threats to our way of life, Geoff Johns and Gary Frank’s story reminds us of the importance of kindness. Despite their differences, Geiger and his companions accept each other’s foibles. And when they pursue those who have wronged others, Barney may take a bite out of crime, but Geiger and Nate often opt for mercy over justice.
Bandits charge past a tilting McDonald’s sign. People and horses wear respirators or transparent facemasks. Geiger hides his features with his hood and a book. When danger threatens, Geiger withdraws the boron rods embedded in his back. As Geiger hurls the radioactive batons, green energy suffuses him, and his burning face resembles a skull.
Nuclear explosions blew up his life while curing his cancer. As he seeks a reunion with his family, Geiger helps those in need. In Geiger TP Vol 2, the stories he loves remind the living nuclear reactor of what he treasures and who he strives to be.

Two things remain true even in a nuclear apocalypse. Don't burn books, and don't hurt dogs. if I didn't love Geiger before, I definitely do now.
Geoff Johns and Gary Frank's post-apocalyptic romp returns as an ongoing series, picking up right where we left off as Geiger tries to be left alone and instead finds himself with a loudmouth companion, a nutcase who thinks he's Electro on his tail, and a bounty on his head bigger than ever. What's a glowing man meant to do? Oh, and Junkyard Joe's here too!
These Ghost Machine books have been great so far. I'm looking forward to the inevitable mega crossover that brings them all together.

No me gustó tanto como el anterior. Tiene una escena tremenda, pero después está muy estirado y no cierra nada. Es un TPB entero para nada de historia. Gary Frank sigue excelente y los personajes siguen estando muy bien. Pero hay que hacer mover más rápido el plot, Geoff

The Nuclear Knight is shorter than you’d hope. You finally get back into this radioactive rollercoaster, ready to soak up more glowing wasteland mayhem… and then boom! it’s over before you’ve finished your snack. But don’t let the page count fool you. What this second volume lacks in size, it makes up for in sheer, unrelenting awesomeness.
This second volume picks up right where we left off: Geiger is still the glowing, haunted antihero we didn’t know we needed, and the world around him is still a nuclear mess full of psychos, tyrants, and desperate souls trying to find something worth living (or dying) for. Even with fewer pages, Johns packs a ridiculous amount of plot and character into every issue. It’s leaner, but definitely not pointless filler. Every moment feels like it matters. There’s a real sense of momentum here, like we’re racing toward something bigger, nastier, and even more emotional than what’s come before. Volume 2 also twists the knife a bi and you’ll love every second of it. Tariq Geiger is still the stoic, radioactive protector with a noble heart buried under layers of grief, but now his mythos is really starting to take shape. You get a better sense of his legacy in this wasteland as he’s not just surviving anymore; he’s becoming something more. A legend. A ghost story. A symbol. And yes, he’s still glowing like someone stuffed a nuclear reactor into a skeleton, which is always a plus.
Once again, Gary Frank delivers panels that somehow manage to be brutal and beautiful at the same time. The emotion, the scale, the detail—it’s all dialed in perfectly. Even in the quieter scenes, there’s an electricity humming through every image. And when the action ramps up? Forget it. Every punch, blast, and dramatic stare hits like a freight train. The man could illustrate a phone book and I’d probably call it art. It should be illegal for comic art to look this good.
Geiger, Vol. 2 may be brief, but it’s a blast—both emotionally and, well, literally. It tightens the focus, raises the stakes, and deepens the legend of its glowing hero. If you liked the first 6 issues, you’ll burn through this in one sitting and immediately want more. Bring on Volume 3 already. Preferably with more pages and just as much radioactive brilliance.

Tremendous stuff from Johns and Frank.

(This is for the trade paperback edition, not the Kindle one.)
I’m enjoying some of Geoff Johns “Ghost Machine” imprint books published by Image Comics. Despite his latest work for DC, the continually-delayed JSA, which was fairly awful, I’ve always liked Johns’s writing, especially on Superman when he first teamed up with artist Gary Frank. Geiger concerns a post-apocalyptic America, after the “Unknown War,” and Geiger himself has radioactive superpowers, controlled by boron rods tucked into his shoulders. He also has the cutest mutant two-headed dog—Barney—you’ve ever seen. This volume features his battle with the electricity-powered bounty hunter, the Electrician, who dognaps Barney. Along the way, Geiger gets a kind of Sancho Panza to his Don Quixote, named Nate, one of the Knights from Las Vegas (sort of harkening back to the Atomic Knights of DC Comics in the 1960s, another post-apocalyptic radiation-filled series). This volume reprints issues 6 through 10 of the Image series. I like Frank’s art a lot and one thing I’ve always liked about Johns’s writing is he knows when to shut up and let the art tell the story. They make a great team, and colorist Brad Anderson makes them even better. I’m looking forward to trying some of the other Ghost Machine books as they come out in trade paperback.

A buddy road movie in the Geiger universe. Doesn't really move the plot that much forwards, but the Gary Frank art is as always great.

It's been a while since I read the last volume but it was easy to jump back in. I liked the additon of a new character who's been inspired by Geiger to try to be better, even if his efforts and general personality really annoy his hero. The fact that he hero looks like Blight from Batman Beyond also continues to amuse me.
I have three minor issues with the story.

Geiger has been a great read since the start and this book continuous the good work, for both the origin story and the 6 issues of the main run.
This time you have Geiger, Barney and a knight as main characters.
I love how the relationship between Geiger and Barney gets special attention. Even in the apocalypse is your pet your best friend!
The stakers seem higher and the enemies of Geiger stronger.
Good stuff

The continuing adventures of radioactive superman in the fallout universe (It’s none of those things, but it also is at the same time) It’s not high brow or over thought but this is just a really solid comic book. The villains are awful and you love to see them get their comeuppance. Plus the two headed dog sidekick is pretty sweet
March 20, 2025
Tariq Geiger and Barney the two-headed dog venture out to find a fabled second glowing man who has, in the years since the war, been cured of his radioactive curse. In tow is Nate, a former Nuclear Knight, who claims to have seen the folly of his ways and who wants to help Tariq do some good in the world. But there is a lot of evil that must be overcome first.

POPKULTUROWY KOCIOŁEK: Rozpoczynając bezpośrednio po wydarzeniach z pierwszego tomu, kontynuacja przedstawia Geigera w podróży przez całe Stany Zjednoczone aż do Montany. Tam bohater próbuje znaleźć lekarza, który mógłby wyleczyć jego dolegliwość. W tym samym czasie jest ścigany przez różne grupy i osoby, które pragną przejąć jego moc dla własnych celów. Towarzyszy mu jego wierny pies, Barney, a także nowy, zaskakujący sojusznik.
Nowy tom, to także nowe zagrożenia. Tym razem Geiger przedstawia nam zwłaszcza sylwetkę sprytnego, sadystycznego Elektryka. Ten bardzo dobrze przygotował się do starcia z głównym bohaterem, co stanowi najciekawszy punkt komiksu. Z tak inteligentnym i przebiegłym człowiekiem, radioaktywny heros nie miał okazji się jeszcze mierzyć. Łowca wykorzystuje słabe punkty przeciwnika, a my w napięciu czytamy co wydarzy się dalej. Kawał wciągającego wątku.
Geiger tom 2 porusza temat naszych obaw dotyczących przyszłości. Ostrzegając nas przed zagrożeniami dla naszego sposobu życia, historia Geoffa Johnsa i Gary’ego Franka przypomina o znaczeniu życzliwości. Pomimo różnic, Geiger i jego towarzysze akceptują swoje wady. A gdy ścigają tych, którzy skrzywdzili innych, Barney może i gryzie przestępców, ale Geiger i Nate często wybierają miłosierdzie zamiast sprawiedliwości.
Uwielbiam również tajemnicę, która rozgrywa się w tyle i dotyczy całego uniwersum Bezimiennych. W końcu widzimy pierwsze nawiązania do tego wątku, gdy pojawia się bohater Junkyard Joe. Choć mamy tu raptem przedsmak tego, co się wydarzy, jestem szalenie ciekaw jak to się rozwinie. Twórcy, na szczęście, podchodzą do tego na spokojnie, nie spiesząc się i budując napięcie. Dzięki temu, czytelnik tym bardziej nie może doczekać się połączenia tych wątków.
Bardzo podobają mi się ilustracje Franka, a jedną z rzeczy, które zawsze ceniłem w pisarstwie Johnsa, jest to, że wie, kiedy się wycofać i pozwolić, by to właśnie ilustracje opowiedziały historię. Sceny akcji potrafią być krwawe i wybuchowe, świetnie kontrastując fragmentami wyciszenia i kontemplacji uczuć bohaterów. Razem, Frank i Johns tworzą świetny duet. Kolorysta Brad Anderson sprawia tylko, że całość wypada jeszcze lepiej i barwniej. ...

Dude this was just a sick volume, I freaking love it!
So this one focuses on Geiger's continuing adventures across this post-apocalyptic world and I love it like the way its being built up across multiple titles and the larger story here is awesome and we see him being joined by Nate the nuclear knight and they don't like each other at first but then are working together and you see them fight diff. people like the organ people and that and I love that issue where they are talking about books and Nate learns why books are imp. and how meaningful they are and what they mean to Geiger and how in this world they are the only solace.
I just love the juxtaposition of these characters and then a new enemy in THE ELECTRICIAN and we don't know much about him except he is a mercenary being hired by people who wanna hunt Geiger and I love the mystery thats being built here and its also gonna tie in with the Junkyard Joe comic finally and we will see the larger connections at play when they confront Geiger again with Redcoat too so as far as universe building goes thats awesome!
I love the art in this volume, its some of the finest work ever, because the detailing here is insanely good and you will love it! I also love how this one teases so many things to come like whose The Surgeon and this President Griffin who has his head all covered up and all that and this maybe some of the best things Johns has written and I am excited to read further!

I also love how this one teases so many things to come like whose The Surgeon and this President Griffin who has his head all covered up and all that and this maybe some of the best things Johns has written and I am excited to read further!

Johns' Geiger Vol 2 is a wild ride through radioactive post apocalyptic Western hell. Amid the neon chaos and glowing fallout of a destroyed society, there's an unmistakable pulse of humanity, even in the animals roaming the land. Tariq Geiger and Nate the Nuclear Knight are torn straight from the pages of some twisted American nightmare—raw, real, and riddled with enough emotional shrapnel to make even the hardest cynic wince. This isn't just a story; it's a psychotropic trip into a world where creativity bleeds through every irradiated crack. Johns's narrative pulses with the frenetic energy of a thousand decaying atoms, each twist and turn a testament to his mad genius. You'll be hooked, haunted, and hungry for more. A goddamn masterpiece in the wasteland of modern comics. Strap in and hold on tight.
