Mad Ghost's tales of The Unnamed continue as we go from 1972 to today! Cartoonist Muddy Davis has just retired from drawing his 50-year-old "Junkyard Joe" newspaper strip. The tragedies of Vietnam and visions of a strange robot soldier that saved his life still haunt him, but dreams will
become his reality when Joe mysteriously shows up on Muddy's doorstep, warning us of a new and impending war.
This book is just beautiful visually and there are many, many panels that say more in images than words can ever express. It is another genuinely solid entry in this new series. Read Full Review
Really good story, can't wait for the next issue!
Geoff Johns does an excellent job giving the cartoonist Muddy a real-life feel. Then bringing Junkyard Joe back in makes it a unique tale for sure!

Without too much exposition or too many details, the story gets the right rhythm on getting the reader to relate to Muddy. Losing his buddies from Vietnam who still haunt him in his dreams, his wife who died from cancer, and the tole of life in general makes for an interesting character.
Issue #3 is definitely going to get really sci-fi especially how it ended more
