END OF STORY ARC
The first volume of Image Comics' newest hit hero, GEIGER, concludes with this DOUBLE-SIZED ACTION FINALE as our resident radioactive rebel takes on a relic from the past to save his family's future. But the adventures are only beginning for Geiger, as he discovers a secret about the Unknown War and its mysterious origins. Plus, a special sneak preview of GEOFF JOHNS and GARY FRANK's next upcoming title in the Geigerverse and much, much more!
This series began with two men sitting in a crater, with one man telling the other the story of just what happened there. Geiger #6 brings that tale to a close and sets the foundations for the future" not just Tariq Geiger's, but one with will expand Geoff Johns, Gary Franks, Brad Anderson, and Rob Leigh's Mad Ghost Universe's.

Many will criticise Geiger for being a simply told story, but it must have been hard to resist the temptation to keep adding in McGuffin's and dead-end plot points as many new books do. Johns's seasoned hands along with the rest of the Mad Ghost team have opened the door of a new Geigerverse. Read Full Review
Geoff Johns writes a fairly strong script here. The story is fast paced and interesting and the dialogue is well done. The art by Gary Frank is excellent as well. He is only getting better with each new work and this is no exception. Read Full Review
Geiger probably over delivered and somehow managed to surpass expectations despite the pedigree of its creative team. I'm looking forward to the next volume, but the world of Geiger expands with a 2022 Junkyard Joe series and an 80-page special in November. The fun is just getting started with this exciting new universe. Read Full Review
Johns really hasnt done anything terribly original with Geiger, but it IS interesting to see him try to develop this whole universe in which The Unnamed fight the Unknown War. Its a timeline that goes back to the American Revolution and forwards to 2050 and beyond. Its an ambitious idea for a massive American chronology. With any luck, the rest of The Unnamed is going to have a bit more originality than Geiger. Read Full Review
This series is so bizarre as it tries to bring so much to its subgenre without actually delivering anything new, thankfully Frank's artwork is still unbeatable and makes it fun. Read Full Review
This was a cool first volume. It mostly developed the world of Geiger instead of its main character, but it was an enjoyable story and the mystery did good to Tariq's persona as a ghost of the apocalypse. I did get disappointed with the unified cannon approach they're going with. Especially this soon. It did affect my experience reading this last issue but that doesn't mean this isn't a nice superhero story which brings the experience of an incredibly talented team of artists forth.

Each issue of this series got better than the one before it. By the end of the arc, we get a clear scope of the universe Geiger inhabits. Johns loves playing with comic mythology, as evidenced by his DC runs, and he is finally building one of his own.
Just good from start to finish.
One of the best series out. A must buy
How to go out with a bang! Great first arc, on this new universe. Loved the big battles, the exploration of the misterious past, the heart and soul of this character and what's around him. It's hard managing to end a great story while developing new threads of stories to tell in the future with seeds from the past, without hurting the main story. Geiger excelled in this and I think the merit goes to the creative team. Gary Frank's art is remarkable in conveying the emotion and visuals needed, and Geoff Johns having this creative freedom just hooks me up going forward and I will buy every single Geigerverse comic!
"The Unnamed"
A satisfying conclusion that leaves you wanting more of this world.
Art was really cool! I’ll admit, I’m not interested in exploring the world Johns plans to explore.
If Geoff Johns wanted to write shitty Fallout fanfiction, he should have just signed up for AO3 instead.
