    Plot
    Geiger, Barney and Nate the Ex Nuclear Knight follow the trail of a person who, like him, was cured of the same radioactive condition as Tariq Geiger. This adventure is a road trip where they begin to develop a friendship, even though Geiger has temper problems that lead him to have problems controlling his radiation.

    The dialogues between Nate and Geiger are hilarious, Nate does not stop talking and saying nonsense and experiences without anyone asking him to tell them and Geiger just wants silence.

    This issue shows the social degradation of this post-apocalyptic world is shocking, such as the presence of the Organ People, people with mutations due to radioactivity and they look for healthy bodies to exchange organs or eat them.

    This comic improves with each volume 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 they approach barbarism without realizing it.



    Art
    Gary Frank and Brad Anderson strike the perfect balance of highly detailed, organic art with clear colors that hide nothing. Every panel on every page is mesmerizing.

    Rob Leigh's lettering is an onomatopoeic adrenaline rush.
