  I haven't read anything written by Frank Marraffino before, but this is a strong Vertigo debut. This "Haunted Tank" is a more than worthy follow-up to the Kanigher classic. Read Full Review

  While this issue is entertaining enough on its own, the entire story is eclipsed by the character of General J.E.B. Stuart. With his florid, poetic language and his flamboyant, anachronistic appearance, he grabs most of the attention and gets the best lines. All the other characters, including Jamal, can't really hold their own in their scenes with him. One would think the ghostly general is the lead character, not the tank crew. If this keeps up, they might as well change the title of this book to "General Stuart and His Not-so-Amazing Friends." Read Full Review
