Geiger #18

A hulking, radiation-scarred figure dominates this cover, strapped into an electric chair with smoke curling from his body and crackling energy at his fists — yet his defiant grin suggests the chair is far more afraid of him than he is of it. Two shadowy figures flank him on either side, adding a sense of threat and intrigue to an already charged tableau, rendered with striking detail by cover artist Gary Frank. Geoff Johns and Eduardo Pansica's Geiger continues to deliver post-apocalyptic intensity with "Love & Violence," and this issue's cover makes a compelling case that issue #18 is not one to pass up.
