Men of War #1
This is a two part book, the
first of which is the new 52 version of Sgt Rock. All we can pretty much
tell from it is that he's in an un-named foreign country conducting a
covert assassination and one or maybe two superheroes royally fuck it up
for him. Since this is not written by Bob Haney, Robert Kanigher or
Garth Ennis it is not very good. If it's going to be set in a universe
where there are heroes I can't see how it's going to work - or will end
up like Qurac from 80s continuity where plots get inceasingly more
ridiculous to justify the heroes not preventing the war or just
defeating America's enemies.
The second part is Navy SEALs, which
is military enthusiast level crazy, obsessed with acronyms that needed
spelled out in sidebars. It's dreadful though, mainly because it doesn't
have a plot. It also has the worst foot of the entire week, no small
claim when there is an entire Liefeld book out.
Or closer:
Seriously,
wtf? Has he got a joint in the middle of his foot that makes his toes
point at 45 degrees to where they should be? I would say this spoils the
book, but in fact it does the opposite and creates the only think worth
talking about in it.
Getting to #3 will be easier than other books, but I can'tsee me going any further.
