Welcome to Litsy!

A soldier returns home from war to bury his father, and gets on the bad side of a gang of bad guys, who hunt him down. This is a wildly inconsistent book. It alternates between riveting and incomprehensible. The black and white art can be dynamic or impossible to follow. The story is solid, if a little scatter shot, but people keep finding each other in the middle of nowhere with no explanation. It honestly feels like a first draft. #comicscount

The best approximation of an over-the-top 80s action movie in graphic novel form I've ever read, that also happens to address racism, and what I think may be common American experiences: choosing to join the military, perhaps because it seems like the only option for a future; income of minorities and lack of socialized medicine and other social support being such that funding raising a child or a hospital visit requires extraordinary measures.

I‘ll read anything Jones writes & I really enjoyed this graphic novel which is a departure from the horror he usually writes. This is the story of a man who comes home for his father‘s funeral, finds himself in an altercation with a violent gang and the resulting chase across the Southwest. Gritty, violent, & fast, this is a story of family & revenge. Wolf‘s black & white art is fantastic. An edge of your seat story & a wild ride.
