The Unnamed is an American comic book franchise published by Image Comics and Ghost Machine Productions, being created by Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, Bryan Hitch, Brad Anderson, Andrea Mutti and Brad Meltzer.
It is set in a fictional universe (the first of Ghost Machine's four initial franchises) where humanity barely survived a nuclear war, and centers on "a mysterious group of heroes across history",[1]
Publication history
Prior to the foundation of Ghost Machine Productions, Image Comics has been publishing the initial limited series titled Geiger, written by Geoff Johns and drawn by Gary Frank, and released on 2021.[2] According to the company's founders, they stressed that they would be creating stories set in genres outside the superhero genre in which many of them had already done work.[3]
The company's launch schedule was to commence with Geiger: Ground Zero, a two-issue series by Johns and Frank released in November 2023 that serves as a prequel to their 2021 Geiger limited series.[4]
