Ghost Machine’s radioactive renegade faces his most perilous challenge yet as he confronts the devastating chaos brewing in Lewistown, Montana. With his powers spiraling out of control, Tariq must fight to protect himself, his allies, and the innocent lives at stake. But salvation might only come with the unexpected aid of…The Glowing Woman.
The escalation of the story over the past couple of issues has been amazing. Geoff Johns does an amazing job of building suspense, all while tugging at the readers emotions. With so many moving parts in this story, it would be easy to get lost, but to his credit this book and series stay easy to follow. Read Full Review
Geiger 14 sets the series up for what seems to be an explosive payoff to one of its strongest arcs yet. Read Full Review
GEIGER #14 brings fire and anticipation when Ashley Arden's secret plan is revealed. Writer Geoff Johns stacks one ticking clock on top of another to heighten the tension as much as possible, and Gary Frank's detailed art leans into the realism for a cinematic experience. This issue is a great example of building to a climax. Read Full Review
The suspense of the script along with truly outstanding art and colours makes this one of the best comics of its type on the shelves just now. There is some wonderful little plot threads that keep everything rolling along wonderfully. Seriously looking forward to next issue....JM
Plot
Doctor Molotov explains to Geiger that Ash is an evil person who has tricked him because his goal is to explode a nuclear bomb beneath Lewistown. Tariq doesn't believe him much, unsure of what's going on.
President Griffin's army attacks Ash with all its might, and Ash is mercilessly eliminating them. Griffin witnesses this from a distance; he has the power to stop her and Geiger if he so chooses.
Nate, Barney, Zig Zag, and Junkyard Joe try to stop this army by engaging them in close combat. At this point, The Custodian, a character dressed as Junkyard, appears and manages to calm them down by changing their configuration.
Geiger confronts Ash and demands answers to so many lies, such as hiding Mol more
This issue continues the great writing and artwork.A big issue in this series, meaning everything is coming together with extra side stories simultaneously playing out.
I only started reading this lately. I picked up a trade and really got into it. I'm still trying to figure Arden out, but this issue really pushes the envelope with that character's end goal. I still don't understand it, but it's diabolical. The art by Frank is truly amazing. Looking forward to it continuing.

Another well drawn and entertaining issue. I hope my boy Junkyard Joe isn't out for long.
There's a reason why Geiger is Ghost Machine's (and maybe even Image's) fladgship title and this issue continues to prove it.
An epic fight between Tariq and Ashley, Nate and Barney versus the Army, Junkyard Joe about to lose himself and a 'President' who looks to be more of a menace than all of them combined.
Oh and a little nuclear armageddon being minutes away.
Johns and Frank's partnership has been Grade A ever since they first teamed-up way back in thier Action days.
Next issue can't come fast enough.
