Feb 13, 2024Skillfully weaves together action, philosophy, and the blurred lines between right and wrong. The confrontation between Wesley and Colonel Breckenridge provides intense stealth and action sequences. Riley Rossmo's art continues to excel in capturing the noir aesthetic, with well-choreographed sequences and expressive facial details. Overall, the combination of compelling storytelling and impressive artistic elements makes this issue well worth the read. Read Full Review

But when you are writing about the WWII era, there is a responsibility to have some credibility to reality, whether you are writing Green Lantern, Sandman, or any of the other WWII era stories. I keep trying to figure out if any of the "New Golden Age" writers remember we were fighting Nazi Germany in WWII. I am fine with all of their retcon story lines, but if they are going to put them in WWII-era, there are actual facts, and a lot of recorded history about the time. After Germany mass-murdered people with chemical warfare in W more
