The critically acclaimed adventures of the Radioactive Rebel continue! Who is the other Glowing Man, and do they have a cure for Geiger's condition? In this issue, we finally meet the poor soul who was transformed into a monster of mass destruction by the radioactive fallout, but then somehow cured. Can this spiritual doppelgänger truly help save Geiger from his increasingly out-of-control abilities?
Geiger remains a stellar read month in and month out. As the creative team approaches a year with this volume, there seems to be an abundance of captivating stories for many more years to come. Read Full Review
This is the first issue of the new arc in this story, and it delivers. Finally in Lewistown and receiving help almost feels like a new hope will arise. But, between Tariqs own skepticism, the uncertainty of who Ash Arden truly is, and the volatility of Junkyard Joe we are in for one hell of a ride, and Geoff Johns is the perfect conductor for said ride.

GEIGER #11 brings Tariq to the end of his long journey, but the answer he's looking for is far from the one he wanted. Geoff Johns delivers a dramatic, weighty issue that looks all the more impressive, thanks to Gary Frank's cinematic art. That said, Tariq's stubborn choices come off as foolish, and the end of the journey fails to satisfy because it reads as the setup for another journey. Read Full Review
I'm having some minor issues with this issue.
Tariq's hostile reaction to Ash Arden feels like coming out of nowhere.
Plus, I've had difficulties making sense of the Junkyard Joe scene. It looked like a flashback to me because of the people and the car.

Gary Frank could have avoided this confusion by showing us the inside of the camp.
Then, there's the Zebra still.
Anyway, those are minor things, and since the book is generally beyond 10 when Frank draws it, I still more

Ash Arden again takes him to receive DTPA, Geiger understands that maybe this is his cure, not completely but at least he has the possibility of controlling h more
Geiger continues to remain solid. It's always a reliable good read. I do hope Tariq becomes less stubborn. I get it's his trait, but I'd eventually like to see some development.
Solid issue. Art and writing were good.
