Spoilers, Top Story

Image Comics and Geiger #5 Spoilers & Review follows.

What Is This Radioactive Compassion You Speak Of?

The issue had a few more variant covers on top of the above.

Plus the main cover.

We open with a creators credits page and…

…then we get a two page catch-up of…

…what transpired in the first four issues of this series.

Hailee and Henry are either guests are prisoners of the forces at the NORAD base while Geiger is definitely a prisoner.


Turns out that while a prisoner, the physicians too out his cooling rods which then allowed him to power up and…

…escape; evening getting a new book out of the adventure.

Elsewhere, Hailee is advised her brother has cancer, but won’t be treated; nonetheless they have a compassionate palliative care program for him instead.

She tries to escape despite being a guest…

…as Geiger and Barney…

…are ready for their escape with the kids.

The book ends with the tease of a robot named Joe; is this the Junkyard Joe who will star in Geoff Johns and Gary Franks next series for Mad Ghost?

Next up is Geiger #6 out next week.

It will be oversized we’re promised and presumably leading into November 2021’s Geiger one-shot.

The Pulse:

Another solid issue with action and intrigue as the world building continues. Amazing art. 8 out of 10.
