Image Comics will rush the latest from Geoff Johns and Gary Frank—Junkyard Joe—back to print in order to keep up with demand. The new series joins Geiger in “The Unnamed” historical shared universe of heroes at Image Comics.
Geiger will be adapted for TV by Justin Simien alongside Johns for Paramount Television Studios.

But for a Great Evil to be stopped, their stories must be told. They are The Unnamed fighting The Unknown War. Junkyard Joe strives to highlight veterans’ perspectives through a comic book lens.
