Geiger #12 Cover A by Gary Frank & Brad Anderson

LOS ANGELES, CA (January 13, 2025) Turns out that Tariq Geiger isn’t the only radioactive outcast fighting to survive in the world of THE UNNAMED.

Teased since the start of the GEIGER ongoing series, Ashley “Ash” Arden—who was purported to have a cure for the same radioactive condition ravaging Geiger’s body—finally made her first appearance in last week’s GEIGER #10. 

In a moment eerily reminiscent to Geiger’s own debut in GEIGER Vol. 1 #1, a hooded Arden greets our heroes with suspicion. Look for her to have a profound effect on Geiger’s post-nuclear-war world going forward.

“Ashley’s story is just beginning,” says Johns. “Gary and I can’t wait to finally show fans who the Glowing Woman is, what drives her as a character, and what her powers, abilities, and mission mean for Tariq.”

Now that Ashley has made her presence known to Geiger, Nate the Nuclear Knight, and the newest addition to their band of travelers, Junkyard Joe, Ghost Machine and Image Comics are releasing the covers for GEIGER #11 (February 12) and GEIGER #12 (March 12) by Frank and colorist Brad Anderson.

“These images begin to tease the growing escalation between Geiger and Ash,” explains Frank. “This is an explosive arc, and it’ll profoundly change Geiger and his relationships with Nate and the world around them.”

The next issue in Geiger’s ongoing adventures (GEIGER #11) is on FOC Monday, January 20, retailers are encouraged to doublecheck their orders and adjust as needed to meet reader demand.

“Gary and I have found another gear on this book and we’re not going to let up,” says Johns. “The story from here is only going to get bigger and reveal more of the connection between Geiger, Junkyard Joe, Redcoat, The Northerner, and other new characters within THE UNNAMED shared universe we’re introducing soon. We can’t wait to show them to you.”
