i read this comic first a few years ago and adored it…especially the inking and coloring.

since then ive been in the military etc etc…I tried to reread the first (war zone) part today and found my soul falling out at almost every page at how tactically ridiculous everything was…a TOC command center out in the open when there is a hardenened structure within walking distance…characters standing in gunfire instead of taking cover or getting down (and there ARE rocks there…big rocks!)…evacuating the wounded out in the open when there is still a sniper shooting at you…yeah… (dies on the inside…) T_T

It was being played back to back with a Japanese B movie about time travel. Definitely an interesting night of cinema.

… not to mention that the page update rate these days is so slow as to approach glacial. I gave up.

Great review with which I agree wholeheartedly. I couldn’t make head-or-tail of what was going on and the inappropriate character designs are downright weird and creepy.
