This book is great. It pokes fun at so many of today's conventions . . I'm surprised it isn't banned. That's a joke! But, seriously . . . .There's a lot of stuff going on in this title. Imagine the Young and the Restless, or Days of Our Lives . . . but with the Mid-East as the location. And the Military as the family business. From what I understand, this is going to be Rick Veitch's first chapter in this title. Next issue is supposed to be the final title of that chapter. But I can't imagine this not coming back. Even if the story, or the artwork isn't for everyone . . . everyone has to admit that the broad leaps it takes in the next generation of warfare . . are hilarious. And . . reasonably possible. For real! "Most of the new stuff is nuke-powered these day. Runs forever. Civilians aren't supposed to know though." Plus there's so many story-lines running through this book, that there's no way they're going to be able to wrap it up with only one more issue. Rick Veitch has always taken a different look at the world. Or . . the same look as we all do, but with the possibilities and motivations skewed just a bit. And if the world looks back . . . he usually just spits in their eye. I almost feel like he's saying, "If you don't like it . . . then don't give me so much crap to work with." Obviously this will be out in a TPB pretty soon. Probably 2 volumes, 1 thru 6, and 7 thru 12. If you haven't read it yet, you really should try to get ahold of it and think about the messages that are coming across here. It's definitely a book for our times.
