Geiger #21

Geiger #21 closes the current arc, The Northerner: Dead America, Part 2, in a post-apocalyptic tale by Geoff Johns with art by Gary Frank and Brad Anderson. The mysterious Northerner can’t explain how he was torn from the Civil War and dropped into the wasteland after the Unknown War, and the last man willing to guide him is Tariq Geiger, the Glowing Man. As enemies close in and old ghosts resurface, the Northerner’s arrival may prove more dangerous than anyone realizes. Johns’s brisk scripting pairs with Frank’s expressive pencils and Anderson’s moody inks to deliver cinematic action and character-driven drama across 32 pages. The issue features multiple cover variants—by Frank, Hitch, and Leighton Buxman—emphasizing the escalating finale while keeping the core relationship between the Northerner and Tariq front and center. A tightly wound, stand‑out chapter in Geiger’s harsh, unforgettable world.
