Spoilers, Top Story

Image Comics and Geiger #3 Spoilers and Review follows.

Irradiated Shakespeare!

The book has a few more variant covers on top of the above.

Plus the main cover.

We open with a creators credits page.

Then we have more on Tariq Geiger’s history revealed, his battle with cancer, and then we…


…pivot to  modern day and…

…the kids escaping the King’s Men from Las Vegas.

That allows to Geiger to think about his past with the King and his men…

…when the king wanted to behead him, but…

…had his family’s fallout shelter bombed…

…revealing his dead family and a macabre throw of one their skulls!

Geiger melted his shackles and…

…scarred the boy king…

…leaving a lifelong mark that haunts him to this day.

The King’s Men arrive in the present and Geiger makes short work of them; he commits to take the kids to the military base and presumed safety that their mom told them about.

Next up is Geiger #4 on shelves on July 7, 2021.

The Pulse:

Tariq Geiger’s past reads like a Shakespearean tragedy while his present feels like a summer blockbuster. Awesome art too. 9 out of 10.
