It's finally back . . this irreverent look at how the world practices and views war . . . one of the smartest books out there. It's only been gone for about 5 months, but it felt like it was longer. Anyways, we're on the second chapter now. It's called the Art of War, and it's brought to us by the same creative staff of Rick Veitch and Gary Erskine. And tell me . . is that not the coolest cover for the first issue? I love it. This one basically picks up where the last on left off. This particular issue gets us back up to speed on what all the characters are doing. It seems that the direction that we're going here is a little thing that was just glanced upon near the end of the first chapter . . . temporal signaling. Basically, Stelaphane has been getting 'tips' or advice from somewhere in the near future. He doesn't know who or when, but he keeps getting these videos that he believes is someone trying to effect the war with prior knowledge. I like this book so much because, basically, anything goes. There's no preconceived notions here . . . heck, this is new ground for everybody. So Rick has the freedom of coming up with any number of ideas. And he's got some doozies in here. I'm glad this book is back in my stack every month, again. I enjoy reading something that's this creative.
