    While 1952's Duck and Cover mentioned a warning would sound before any of America's enemies dropped a bomb, Dark Horse Comics series' narrator explains that after years of nothing but fear mongering people began to ignore the sirens. When you consider that schools during the time did drills similar to today's fire and active shooter scenarios it is easy to understand how people, especially children would stop paying attention. But as Bert's narrator reminds the audience several times, and as we see in this first issue, seeing is believing. So when you notice the flash you know what to doit's time to Duck and Cover.

    Excellent book, just picked up the first three issues after not having heard about it before a few days ago. #1 did a good job introducing the characters, showing us who they are and why they are, and then flipping their world upside down. I look forward to finishing this one.

    It was okay/good, nothing crazy awesome. Probably won't get the next issue.
