Forthcoming series will introduce bone-chilling new villain: Organgrinder
PORTLAND, Ore. 11/05/2026 — Bestselling superstars Geoff Johns (Geiger, Redcoat), Gary Frank (Geiger), and Bryan Hitch (Redcoat), colorist extraordinaire Brad Anderson, and legendary letterer Rob Leigh pull the pin on a massive launch event next year titled, Radioactive Revolution #1. This extra-length, 40-page story will blow the doors of local comic shops with an explosive crossover between Image Comics/Ghost Machine’s 'The Unnamed' characters which will continue on in the upcoming Geiger #26-28 and Redcoat #23-24.
Radioactive Revolution will pack plenty of additional firepower with highly collectible variant covers by Ivan Reis, Danny Miki, Francis Portela, Brett Bean, and draw-a-Ghost-Machine-cover-contest-winner Steven Defendini, as well as a blank sketch variant and a wraparound variant by Hitch himself.
“From the beginning, we’ve been building 'The Unnamed' universe towards this,” said Johns. “Radioactive Revolution brings Geiger and Redcoat together for the first time, but this is much more than a crossover. It’s a collision that will change both characters and the world they inhabit forever… and reveal more about the Unknown War that created Geiger’s future timeline, and how it might relate to Simon Pure. And with Gary Frank and Bryan Hitch bringing it to life, we’re going bigger than ever before.”
Frank added: “Although we’ve been planning this forever, this feels more like a beginning than any kind of culmination. Drawing Geiger and Simon together for the first time is a lot of fun but all the seeds we’re planting for future stories are just as exciting.”
This crossover has been five years in the making, ever since the immortal mercenary Simon Pure was contracted to hunt down Tariq Geiger in 2022’s Geiger 80-Page Giant. But the deadly and dangerous Redcoat must rely on his cunning instincts—and his immortality—to complete his mission to kill The Glowing Man. As Simon quickly learns, he’s in for the biggest fight of his over 250-year lifespan when a dangerous new wildcard enters the fray: Organgrinder, a villain who wants them both! Or, at least parts of each…
“You’re going to see a familiar but different Simon Pure than you’ve seen in Redcoat,” said Hitch. “He’s learned a few things in the 150 years or so since we saw him in Redcoat #22 and Radioactive Revolution #1. Maybe not as much of a tool as he used to be but he’s also a lot more dangerous than we’ve ever seen him.”
