Marty: Geiger Ground Zero delivers a compelling narrative with well-crafted characters and a visually stunning presentation. The minor challenge for new readers is overcome by the unfolding present-day scenes. As a reader who has read the first volume I am excited to see how the additional backstory plays out! Ken: The early days of Ghost Machine’s radioactive powerhouse comes to light with an excellent debut chapter. Johns crafts first-class writing of his characters while Frank, Anderson and Leigh drill home the theme of what makes Ghost Machine stand out from the rest: Characters First.

AIPT

Geiger: Ground Zero #1 provides a compelling, yet tragic origin for its radioactive protagonist – and an entry point for new readers. This comic is proof that Image is firing on a wholly different set of cylinders than other publishers, and it makes me even more excited for the future of comics in genera.

Fanbase Press

Anything written by Geoff Johns is bound to be good, but is this series (and its soon-to-be-shared universe with the upcoming talents of Peter Tomasi, Brad Meltzer, Bryan Hitch, Gary Frank, and others) worth picking up? Creator-owned series and universes – like Byrne’s Next Men or Mike Mignola’s Hellboy – have ended up being the best work they have done because they are not bound by editorial dictates or the unwillingness to take an established character into a dangerous direction. Geiger has the potential to follow that path, depending on where this story goes. For that reason alone, it is definitely worth checking out.

There is a lot of worldbuilding taking place in Geiger: Ground Zero, but there story is accessible to new readers. There are elements plucked from real-world events, or events that could take place in our everyday world. The Glowing Man is in search of his family, but is being hunted for being a radioactive monster. His origin story is quite sad, especially when you factor in being from another country. Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, and Brad Anderson are a powerhouse creative team, so fans of their work will want to pick this up to follow their story.
