The Plot
The comic book Geiger is set in a post-apocalyptic world where radiation from nuclear war is a looming threat. Geiger is hiding to avoid the hordes of criminals and gangsters in the desert.
Geiger is known in the comic as the Organ Man or Glowing Man, and the location takes place around the Nevada area, specifically Las Vegas. The setting for this comic series involves an interconnected world of gangs, casinos, and individuals under the rule of the King. The goal of the King was to gain control of nuclear arms, specifically an atomic football device. This device was lost in the desert after Air Force One was shot down during the Nuclear Assault.
The location where this post-apocalyptic city sits is called Camelot. The King’s men locate the football, but a waitress’s children find it and are running from them. Gieger promises to protect the children from the King’s men.
Impressions
Geoff Johns has used his talents to weave an exciting tale filled with action and suspense. His character is well-rounded and allows the reader to connect with him more humanly. The author goes into great detail to weave a world where it’s a struggle to survive and prevent the criminal element from gaining control of the world.
If you enjoy a gritty comic that has a wide range of characters that are believable but fantastic at the same time, then you’ll enjoy reading this comic series. There seems to be plenty of room for character building and continuation for an extended time with this series.
Expect to see more from Gieger in the coming years, and there are rumors of a potential movie or comic animated series in the works.
