In what is an interesting “crossover,” two comic book legends just announced an intriguing collaboration. As DC’s Batman “H2SH” storyline from Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee continues to shatter sales records, and Geoff Johns and Gary Frank’s Geiger ongoing series remains a regular sell-out and cornerstone for Ghost Machine as one of Image’s top-selling monthly titles, industry icons Lee and Frank have teamed to provide covers for each other’s titles. Gary Frank has worked with DC previously on comics such as Doomsday Clock, Batman: Earth One, Action Comics, and more, and of course Jim Lee is one of the founders of Image Comics.

Lee’s Geiger cover, which will appear on October’s Geiger #19, is Lee’s first cover for Image since Spawn #200 in 2011. Frank’s Batman cover is scheduled to hit stores on Batman #163 in August.

Loeb and Lee’s current installment of their celebrated Batman: Hush comic book saga began in DC’s Batman #158 in March. This new run, collectively called “H2SH”, is running monthly for six issues through August’s Batman #163 and will conclude with six more issues in 2026.

Johns, Frank, Anderson and Leigh launched the ongoing Geiger series in April of 2024 and continues the story of Tariq Geiger, a man transformed into a powerful hero during the first strike of a nuclear war, and other unnamed heroes from throughout American history. October’s Geiger #19 features the return of Ashley Arden as her ongoing story of hunting human traffickers across a nuclear-war-ravaged America takes center stage and The Glowing Woman’s motivations and future become more clear.
