When I get to the credits at the end and see that it's Priest that wrote this, it all makes sense. I've struggled for the past year with their Vampirella series that has been a disaster and it's just clear that their style of writing simply doesn't click with my brain at all. I just can't follow the structure or intent, it's not overly wordy but it says a lot without saying anything and it becomes emptier with each word. I really love Mooneyham' artwork here as it captures things well with some great panels, especially when we get the formal Unknown Soldier moments, but by and large the artwork can't salvage the book as a whole even as much as I love it here.

I noticed in previous Priest books that he has a surprising knowledge of the military, and he flexes that here. It helped make the story feel way more realistic.
