Trouble brews within the last civilized town in America. The cause: Tariq Geiger, who attracts too many bounty hunters wanting the enormous sum for his corpse. But when Geiger loses control, will he ultimately become this town's protector... or its doom? Plus, the return of Junkyard Joe's creator and enemy, The Custodian. But what are his ties to Geiger? And Redcoat?
Like Redcoat #8, this issue teased a significant collision of several major players in the Unknown War timeline. Something huge is about to development in this section of the Ghost Machine titles and seems like its going to be pretty exciting. Read Full Review
Geiger #9 was a climatic second part to this mini Grovers Corner arc. The battle with the New King and his Knights is some of the best action in comics in recent memory.

GEIGER #9 is a relatively satisfying end to Geiger's visit to Grover's Corners.

Its going to be interesting to see where Johns and company take the series next. Read Full Review

Really good solid issue.
Solid issue. Geiger never lets you down. I really didn't like Nate at first, but every issue has improved his character.
another solid issue from Geoff Johns.
