Status Updates From Geiger, Vol. 3

Notes:
(1) Having the "Ground Zero" issues at the end makes sense in hindsight—leading into Vol. 4.
– Not only is Molotov featured in the next arc, it clears up a question I had about absorbing radiation, which I thought was a plot hole when I read it in singles.
– Not that I couldn't have remembered had this led off Vol. 3, but it's more effective as a bridge between arcs.

Notes:
(1) The "Grover's Corners" arc is literally a detour, albeit still valuable in several ways.
- Most pragmatically, it's an artist fill-in run. Meaning it keeps the book on schedule by giving Gary Frank extra time to draw the next arc without having to rush.
- As for the narrative, it checks in with the Casino Warlords of Las Vegas to remind us they're still a threat.

Notes:
(1) Nearly every long-running series has at least one trade that collects misfit issues and miscellanea.
- Here we get the three-issue Pelletier-illustrated arc and the "Ground Zero" two-parter.
- It's notable that the flashback issues, despite being published first, are at the end of the book. They did the same with the Barney flashback story in the previous volume.

I read the ground zero issues which will be collected in this volume
