First of all, this book is written by Brian Azzarello. And anybody who knows me knows that this is probably my favorite author right now. Well. . . . . actually. . . . . ever since 100 Bullets started. His work is complex, thought provoking and full of fresh innovative ideas. He really pulls you into the story. On this book, he is accompanied by Carlos D'Anda on pencils. I've liked his work in the past, but on this book, it looks like Brian and Carlos are gonna' fit like a new pair of sneakers. If Brian's past work is any indication, Carlos' pencils will get better and better every issue, as Brian, or more importantly his stories, really seem to bring out the creative juices in his cohorts. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of new heights they reach with this book. The U.S. Govt. has gone to Hindu Kush, or more specifically Az' Aralo, nice play on a name there Brian, which is a training and prison camp. They are there to procure the release of a U.S. hero, whom they end up killing by accident in their zealousness. Well, they can't go home empty handed, so they find the next best suitor whom happens to be Michael Cray, Deathblow. "I've been presumed dead for 6 years. You might say I work black-ops, but you'd be nine shades too light describing what I do." They then take him back to Gitmo for debriefing. I think what the twist on this incarnation is going to be, is that the world he's come home to, may not "fit" him anymore. And it may not be able to handle him. This could prove to be an interesting ride for Brian, Carlos and "Michael Cray".
