MINISERIES FINALE
In the fallout of the UNKNOWN WAR, Tariq Geiger must fight for his own survival from what's left of society...as well as find whatever humanity remains inside his nuclear-powered body. But only with the help of his sole ally, Dr. Molotov, can he gain an understanding of his powers...and ward off the hunters after him. This all sets the stage for the upcoming monthly GEIGER series in 2024!
Geiger: Ground Zero #2 wraps up this chapter of the Ghost Machine, but also serves as a springboard to the larger universe. Read Full Review
Geiger: Ground Zero #2 packs a lot into its finale, wrapping up the title character's origin story while setting the seeds for future adventures. It needed an extra issue to breathe, but as far as introductions to new characters go I've seen worse. Rev up the Ghost Machine! Read Full Review
The conclusion to the two-part story feels like it could have two separate books itself: 1) the conclusion to Geiger/Molotov’s partnership; and 2) a collection of short stories helping to launch future Ghost Machine titles. That doesn’t make this a bad issue, but it does make each part come off a bit rushed and crammed together. Gary Frank’s artwork stole the show over these two issues, reminding readers just how haunting a world this is. At the end of the day, this was a successful reintroduction to the world of Geiger and the pieces seem to be set up nicely for the comic creators collective’s big launch in 2024.
