Description

We've been drafted into the comics wars, even though none of us are trained readers, and sent straight to the front lines of the New 52. Ducking under the Sgt Rock barb wire, running into the George Saint bullets and dodging the Frankenstein artillery, all to deliver a podcast about how maybe making books about the military in the 21st century doesn't work quite the same as it used to. Get down in the trenches with us as we read Men of War vol 1: Uneasy Company by Ivan Brandon and Tom Derenick with colours by Matt Wilson and backup stories by Jeff Lemire, Matt Kindt, Jonathan Vankin, James Robinson, JT Krul, B. Clay Moore, John Arcudi, Phil Winslade, Scott Kolins, Paul McCaffrey, Richard Corben and Patrick Scherberger.
