A mediocre story that could have been better if it had been more fleshed out and less disjointed. A somewhat superficial look at the addictive aspects of war and the idealized media/entertainment tinted perspective that many Americans have of violence and war vs the devastating realities.

I did like the artwork which felt interesting and unconfined by traditional comic boxes, but in saying that the art was hard to follow on certain spreads and pages.
Overall it was just ok... :/

The story itself wasn't so bad and the diaglouge or thoughts were interesting. But the layout of the it was just so awkward that its hard to enjoy the bit that is enjoyable. I think that if this was a rough draft it would be a good start but as a graphic novel it doesn't hit the mark. It needs to be more indepth and well structured. It isn't a bad quick read but it isn't as good as it has potential to be. The story is there but it needs to be fleshed out more and the layout needs to be more organized. It could be good instead of being...eh.

A good exploration of war and its addictive qualities as experienced by a journalist. Some of the flow between panes was a little confusing game. Worth a read for those interested in journalism, war correspondence, graphic novels, and war in general.
