GEIGER DELUXE EDITION VOL. 2

Tariq Geiger has surrounded himself with some dangerous friends. His two-headed wolf Barney bears the trauma of the fateful nightwhenGeiger found him. And their newfound companion—a former Nuclear Knight inspired by Geiger’s acts of heroism—tries to atone for a life of unfettered violence and brutality. Leaving his Boulder City home behind, Geiger and company walk the radioactive roads of the former United States in pursuit of a cure for The Glowing Man’s nuclear-powered condition. But to obtain the information they need, Geiger’s crew must face the myriad of threats hunting them. From the sadistic mercenary known as The Electrician, the hundreds of cannibalistic Organ People, and even the robot soldier Junkyard Joe, Geiger’s situation grows more perilous by the day. But when Geiger and company stumble upon a strange slice of suburbia untouched by the apocalypse, some of Geiger’s hunters finally catch up to him, endangering this oasis. And when they finally confront The Glowing Man, the question isn’t whether Geiger’s fury will go too far…it’s how much of him will be left when it’s over. Collects GEIGER (2024) #1-9
