PORTLAND, Ore. 01/13/2025 — 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 by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank.
In a moment eerily reminiscent of 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,” said 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 is revealing the covers for Geiger #11 (on sale Wednesday, February 12), Geiger #12 (on sale Wednesday, March 12), and Geiger #13 (on sale Wednesday, April 9) by Frank and colorist Brad Anderson. “These images begin to tease the growing escalation between Geiger and Ash,” said 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) has a Final Order Cutoff deadline for comic shop retailers on Monday, January 20—retailers are encouraged to double check 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,” continued 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.”
