Netflix options Geiger comic for potential post-apocalyptic adaptation

Netflix has optioned the rights to the comic book Geiger, potentially developing it into a new post-apocalyptic franchise. The property, which debuted through Image Comics in 2021, follows a radioactive antihero navigating a devastated North America filled with mutants and warlords.

Created by writer Geoff Johns, artist Gary Frank, and colorist Brad Anderson, the series is being positioned as a visually distinctive property that shares thematic DNA with works like Fallout and Mad Max. While Netflix secured the option in July 2026, no official announcement regarding a specific film or series, cast, director, or release date has been made.

Geiger is part of a broader effort by the streaming service to acquire comic book properties for adaptation, alongside other titles such as Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees, Radio Spaceman, and The Infinite Horizon.
