A review by shadownlite
The Harlem Hellfighters by Max Brooks

3.0

This graphic novel had great artwork but i found the story to be a bit choppy. It didn't have the flow it should of. It was also difficult to keep the characters straight as I read it. I kept having to flip back to the start and try to figure out which of the characters had died by matching them up with the introduction of the characters name/drawings.

I do wish there was a decent book written about the Harlem Hellfighters because I was aware of the black soldiers in WW1 yet little is written about them. It is like since they were in a segregated military, no one wants to talk about the men and the prejudice they faced even while fighting for the US in a war.

So, this graphic novel is a good intro to the Hellfighters but not really telling you a lot about them at the same time.
