The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of THINK TANK: FUN WITH PTSD #1 from Image Comics. Matt Hawkins writes and Rahsan Ekedal
draws.
David Loren is a scientist working with the US
military. When a Navy SEAL he knows gets into trouble, David starts looking
into PTSD. He gets obsessive, as David tends to do about everything, and turns
up some useful treatment options that he needs to test. But something happens
to his test subject that will slow down the testing dramatically.
David is a fun character; his irreverence is well balanced
by both his military colleagues and his results. But don’t let his irreverence
fool you – this is a very serious story. And the creators have done their
homework; I kid you not, half of this book is practically a research paper on
PTSD. But it’s a story that needs to be told, and they do a fine job of it.
This would be a great book to hand to anyone who knows
nothing about PTSD. It’s a very realistic story with a good grasp on the
science of brain injury. It’s not a happy ending, though, so be prepared.
THINK TANK: FUN WITH PTSD #1 is available now at your FLCS
or at imagecomics.com.
