The clock ticks down for Tariq Geiger! The scheming Electrician kidnapped Geiger's best friend. The problem? Standing between Geiger and the Electrician is the largest horde of deformed mutant Organ People he's ever encountered. The solution? Launch a desperate assault through them, hoping the masses don't completely overwhelm him. Can the Nuclear Nomad get through them in time?
Geiger #4 doesn't disappoint. Johns appropriately raises the stakes with The Electrician, an enemy Geiger can't dispose of as quickly as most of his other foes. Things are starting to heat up even further. Read Full Review
GEIGER #4 layers on mounds of emotion and authenticity in the protagonists' character development, and Gary Frank's stunning artwork makes every panel count. However, Geoff Johns's engaging script is taking the slow train to wherever this story is headed. The issue isn't boring by any means, but you're constantly left feeling unsatisfied that not enough happened by the end. Read Full Review
Johns is really trying to develop a whole world here. Hes been developing it for a few years now, but its still missing something. Theres some sense of novel innovation, but not nearly enough to distinguish it in the sprawling history of post-apocalyptic sci-fi. The clever fusion of that genre with a carefully-crafted superhero universe has been an interesting exercise, but Johns hasnt developed enough from there to keep Geiger fresh a couple of years out from his debut a few years ago..

I'll start with my one negative take away, the book seemed over way too soon. Felt like half as long as the pages were. Great art as always, I enjoyed all the character touches and details. The story is continuing to be very interesting and now the stakes are increased a lot. But it still feels like there should have been more to the issue.
I enjoyed the pacing of the book better this issue and Nate wasn't anywhere near as annoying. Parts of the art are still looking rushed but overall the story is starting to lead somewhere
It's action heavy. The art is great as always, but this little villain gave this issue the stakes it needed to matter.
