The biggest success here is probably Barney himself. The two-headed dog has always been one of the more charming aspects of Geiger. Hes a really expressive mascot who never comes across as being all that anthropomorphized...but still manages to be the emotional center of the series. The identical twin heads amplify the emotionality of the comic book the an intense degree. Its really, really cool to see him more in the center of the panel...even if its only for a single issue before Zdarsky and company get back to more of the same next month. Read Full Review

Geiger #6 is a unique story. Geoff Johns takes us on a side mission with Barney and it pays off. The fact that most of this story is without dialogue, and still draws you in, shows how good of a tale it is. Read Full Review

It's a quiet, but emotional read. Read Full Review

Geiger #6 is a beautifully rendered and surprisingly thought character piece about Geiger's dog. The tale of inspiration will make you feel warm and fuzzy, but the inspiration comes at the expense of a plot that has moved in ages. This series is treading water, but you feel good doing it.

Excellent side quest for Barney. I love how they're giving Barney some real characterization moments. He's not just a dog or a pet, he's a full member of the group and here he got an opportunity to have an adventure of his own. The four armed gorilla was really cool too, and I like how they finished the book with the zoo becoming mythologized with the gorilla as the protector. Great story all around.

Wonderful story about Barney that hit all the highs and the art was an absolute joy. Near perfect.

Plot
Geiger tries to cheer Barney up by making him a feast of food, but his faithful pet has no appetite, Nate is worried.

At night when everyone is asleep Barney goes for a walk and arrives at the High Plains Zoo, where a group of hunters eliminate all the animals that have mutated and only take the normal specimens alive to Las Vegas, to a wedding.

Barney meets the gorilla Manco, who has four arms, they communicate between them, Manco explains the situation..

Barney witnesses how these hunters killed a three-eyed mother zebra and planned to do the same to her son, at that moment Barney kills one of the hunters. The other hunter electrocutes Barney as Electrician did and he remembers that pain, but Manco arrives with the other animals and they eliminate all the hunters.

Barney returns to Geiger and brings with him the three-eyed zebra, Nate loves it and adopts it as Zig Zag, Geiger doesn't like the idea but Barney also wants company.

This issue focuses for the first time on Barney and with very little dialogue tells a cautionary adventure about animal cruelty.

This comic improves with each issue and maintains a cohesive and addictive narrative rhythm, Geoff Johns highlights how humanity in this crisis becomes cruel and indifferent to the pain of others, how it approach barbarism without realizing it.

This comic includes a scary preview of the next Ghost Machine comic called Hyde Street, which inaugurates the horror universe of this publisher. The creative team of this series is Geoff Johns, Ivan Reis, Brad Anderson and Rob Leigh.

Art
Gary Frank and Brad Anderson achieve the perfect balance of extremely detailed and organic art with clear colors that hide nothing. Every panel of every page is mesmerizing. This installment has sequences that highlight the pain of torture.

Rob Leigh's lettering is an onomatopoeic adrenaline rush.

Summary
Barney helps some new friends fend off cruel hunters more

I love when hunters become the hunted.

Gary Frank is what I'm here for because the story is nice but the art is what makes it worth gazing at. Those animals were flawless!!

Not much Geiger, but a beautifully drawn story about Barney.
