The 40 Years of Comics Project - Day 1341: The Dying & the Dead #2, April 2015

Curiouser and curiouser...

I'm intrigued by this group of soldiers the colonel is assembling. The cover image appears to be something from their past, which gives the tale a nice flavour, actually. Something like Red. This is the final adventure, the one they go on at the end of their lives. It seems that all action heroes have this adventure, the one last ride with their old compatriots.

Though these guys appear to have done some very bad things together. I kind of hope we never find out what those bad things were. It's so much better to leave to to our imaginations. What's important about the characters is the tale that is happening to them imminently, not the story that has brought them to this particular place.

More to come...
