Plot
Doctor Molotov explains to Geiger that Ash is an evil person who has tricked him because his goal is to explode a nuclear bomb beneath Lewistown. Tariq doesn't believe him much, unsure of what's going on.
President Griffin's army attacks Ash with all its might, and Ash is mercilessly eliminating them. Griffin witnesses this from a distance; he has the power to stop her and Geiger if he so chooses.
Nate, Barney, Zig Zag, and Junkyard Joe try to stop this army by engaging them in close combat. At this point, The Custodian, a character dressed as Junkyard, appears and manages to calm them down by changing their configuration.
Geiger confronts Ash and demands answers to so many lies, such as hiding Molotov. She replies that she's using him because he's a remorseless killer, while she suffers for all those she's killed. Her plan is to explode the bomb, and Geiger will absorb the energy and radiation from everyone, including hers, taking away her powers. She'll be happy, even if the entire town dies in the process.
A decisive episode for the UNNAMED universe with shocking revelations where Geiger is put to the test and his allies are diminished.
This is one of the best comic series right now, from its art to its brilliantly narrated plot by Geoff Johns, which makes for an addictive read.
Art
Gary Frank and Brad Anderson achieve the perfect balance of highly detailed and organic art with clear colors that hold nothing back. Every panel on every page is mesmerizing; every time you look at it, you discover new and incredible details. The splash pages Gary creates will leave you speechless.
Rob Leigh's lettering is an onomatopoeic adrenaline rush.
