Geiger #5

Geoff Johns and Gary Frank's post-apocalyptic series reaches its fifth issue with a cover that puts human stakes front and center. A woman and young child in yellow radiation suits stand between two armed soldiers in tactical gear and a mysterious figure in a green hazmat suit, all set against a billowing dust cloud rising over a desolate wasteland. Brad Anderson's colors — that vivid yellow against the muted, sun-scorched landscape — give the scene a quiet tension that makes this one of 2021's more visually compelling ongoing series covers.
