Only just got issue 2, but yeah, it's excellent. Lovely job on the art, Cameron- and Aaron's writing's pretty shit-hot too. Yes, the splash with the tigers is awesome.
Just found this, too.
Looks like you're getting yourself some good press, Mr Stewart. And it's well-deserved.
I was pretty fucking excited by this way back at the beginning of the thread, and now it's here and is starting to take shape, I have to say I'm not at all disappointed.
(Incidentally, the first place I looked for this today had sold out. I hope that means a ton of people bought it, rather than they just didn't order enough).
It's great. I love the jawless ghost (especially the way he looks simultaneously like a timeless, iconic image like you'd get on a metal album, and like a brand-new, never-before-seen image. He's got a kind of EC Comics quality to him which I also love) and the talking rifle. I love the split narrative. And I love that the American protagonist didn't come off in issue 1 as being particularly likeable. I've grown to like him now, but I think he's earned that, rather than having it assumed.
The NVA half of the story is still putting me in mind of The Sorrow Of War, but that's probably just because it's the only account I've ever read of the war from that side. And the comparison is meant to be complimentary.
Yeah, you guys are doing a great job, and I'll certainly be buying the rest. |

but I'll be back for the rest of the series. Definitely an intense read and the art is spectacular.
