This volume concludes the Ash Arden story arc and includes The Northerner arc.
Dr. Andrei Molotov explains how he tried to make Ashley Arden different from Tariq Geiger, but everything changed when he revealed that he was the one who created the atomic bombs that caused this nuclear holocaust. Molotov created Geiger and Ashley twice: first with the bomb, and then with the vest and boron rods necessary to control their powers.
Geiger is captured by WREN's men, the ex-convict and self-proclaimed warden of Cold Water Prison. There, he begins interrogating Geiger about a man named Goldbeard, who hid a treasure in the prison and disappeared with the secret.
Geiger escapes from prison, and his powers are out of control. Apparently, the possibility that he might one day explode and cause another apocalypse is the main reason why President Griffin wants him.
Geiger collapses to his knees, exhausted, as he receives the boron rods that control his powers from the snout of his large, two-headed dog companion, Barney.
This volume includes a solo adventure of Ash Arden that connects Redcoat to Geiger's universe.
The Northerner appears and explains to Geiger that he comes from an alternate future where the South won the American Civil War, resulting in a different nation. Then, someone shows him a speech by Martin Luther King Jr. from our reality, where the North won, and where this great statesman actually existed.
The Northerner travels through time constantly and must discover what to do in the era he is sent to, such as when he managed to stop the changes in the past with Redcoat's help, ensuring the North's victory (Read REDCOAT TP VOL 2). But now he's in the future and doesn't understand what he should do, or if the change he made in the past didn't stop the catastrophic UNKNOWN WAR, where the origin of the nuclear attack remains a mystery.
But The Northerner is constantly receiving help, weapons from another era that allow him to defend himself. Although Geiger doesn't quite believe him yet, he helps him reach Detroit, where there's an information center The Northerner needs to know what to do in this time. But they're intercepted by highway robbers who are crushed by a tank sent to The Northerner as assistance.
This volume begins to reveal key elements for understanding this unknown war and how it relates to Redcoat, Geiger, and Junkyard Joe—a mind-blowing mix of Terminator and Mad Max!
