By the critically acclaimed team of GEOFF JOHNS, GARY FRANK & BRAD ANDERSON!
Throughout history, unlikely and strange heroes have risen and fallen, their identities and lives a secret. But for a Great Evil to be stopped, their stories must be told. They are The Unnamed fighting The Unknown War.
From the explosive pages of GEIGER comes JUNKYARD JOE! The world knows him as the comic strip by cartoonist Muddy Davis, but the truth stretches back to the Vietnam War. This is their story of sacrifice and brotherhood.
While this spinoff series takes readers deeper into that world long before the events of Geiger, it's a story that very much stands on its own, one that paints an unflinching look at the horrors of war, the impact of trauma, and what it means to be both human and humane. Read Full Review
A solid balancing act of friendship and the brutal elements of war for a debut issue that has a taste of science fiction. Read Full Review
Joes entire tour in Vietnam has been covered in the first issue. Johns could deploy a guy like Joe in just about any direction. Johns is also wise to dedicate the issue to actual military servicemen and women. Every cent of the profits goes to the National Coalition For Homeless Veterans in the U.S. and Veterans Aid in the U.K. So Joe may not be able to be everywhere (or really... anywhere on THIS side of the comics page), but hes helping veterans in his own way, which is actually kind of cool.

Geoff Johns does it again!
Love the setting of an alt-history of the Vietnam war. The story is interesting just in the first issue, but I am a bit worried that the story's direction will move to something else at the end than what's initially presented. Excited for the second issue.
A robot in the Vietnam War learns war is hell. It seems the second issue is supposed to continue years after the war, so I'm not sure what the long term vision of the series is. It doesn't help that I don't read Geiger.
Ah yes, GI Robot...I mean, "Junkyard Joe"...
Geoff Johns' move to tweak DC properties and try to make them his own continues in the Geiger/Atomic Knights tradition...
"Reading a Geoff Johns comic is like reading a book by a writer who's never read a non-superhero book in his life."
Nice looking, but this is just sad.
