As the "venerated Virginian veteran," George Washington is indisputably the father of our nation. But as a young, brash militiaman in 1753, his recklessness started the French and Indian War. True fact.
This story works an interesting reworking of various events of the time to showcase Washington and some of his views and approach to what was going on. With him being barely in his early twenties at this stage there's definitely the presentation of a confidence and assuredness that's interesting to see, both in dealing with the natives and the British administrators. The dialogue is modern enough as one would expect but the back and forth works well to give a good feel for all involved. As with past issues, Andrea Mutti simply kills with this series as his style is perfectly suited for it, especially with Affe's color work. There's a lot to like just in taking in facial expressions and exploring the details of the backgrounds and costume design along. Good stuff and it leaves you looking forward to what the next two issues will bring for this run of the property. Read Full Review
I thought this was a very good book overall with a long road ahead of it for the writer and artist. Read Full Review
