When worlds collide, sparks fly when the universes of The Unnamed meet “a mysterious group of heroes across history,” including the continuing adventures of Geoff Johns and Frank’s previous protagonists from Geiger and Junkyard Joe. Here is an introduction to a bizarre, dangerous, terrifying, fascinating Unnamed universe that includes:
Geiger—Set a scant quarter-century from now, our tale centers on Tariq Geiger, a man on a post-nuclear planet, in a place after the Unknown War. Geiger loses his family and humanity during a fantastic event when he transforms into what some call the Glowing Man, an entity capable of absorbing radiation but struggling to contain it.
Ghost Machine #1—The brand’s first official book was a 64-page special anthology, which doubled as a primer laying the backstory of the characters and the foundation of the Unnamed universe.
Junkyard Joe — Picture Morrie “Muddy” Davis, a soldier/budding cartoonist who, during Vietnam, encounters a marvel–a deadly–but loyal–robotic fighter. After the Army convinces him that what he didn’t see isn’t real, Davis forges a Sunday cartoon– Junkyard Joe, and decades later, meets the robot–who is running from forces who will once again turn him into a tool of war.
Rook: Exodus—Set in the future and in a place where people control every aspect of nature. A struggling farmer grabs the opportunity and becomes a “Warden.” When chaos threatens Exodus, Rook has a critical choice: flee the planet before its doom—or fight to save it!
Redcoat — A series by Johns, Hitch, and Anderson features the ironically named Simon Pure. During the American Revolution, Pure was forced to go Redcoat, and he took on the life of a mercenary. After an altercation with the Founding Fathers, Pure acquires immortality. As one would, Pure grows jaded over the centuries as an irreverent mercenary fleeing from debt collectors, lovers, and other obstacles.
The Rocketfellers — The Family Odysseys universe is based upon a fascinating 26th-century dysfunctional family, The Rocketfellers. Tomasi penned this eponymously named work, and Manapul created the art. So–trying to hide in the ultimate witness protection program–the past–The Butterfly Effect by damned!–the Rocketfellers end up in the brutally uncivilized and primitive year 2024 AD, only to discover what has followed.
Hyde Street—Hyde Street is a horror-based universe. What’s that like? Image Comics described the eponymously named Hyde Street as the locus uniting “Blackest Night’s fantastic scope with Twilight Zone’s thought-provoking drama.”
Hornsby and Halo — Written by Tomasi and illustrated by Snejbjerg, here is the story that posits the philosophical question: Do you think your adolescence was rough?–You could be right! So you can relate to the tale of two babies, switched at birth in a truce tempered by their tribes. Meet. Rose Hornsby and Zach Halo, an angel and a demon, are raised, unbeknownst to themselves, in each other’s household to create a merger between Hell and Heaven in a battle of Good and Evil.
