The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of WORLD OF TANKS #1 from Dark Horse Comics. Garth Ennis writes, Carlos Ezquerra draws, Michael
Atiyeh colors, and Rob Steen letters.
A British tank unit lands at Normandy a month after D-Day,
ready to help push Jerry back to Berlin. Linnet and his crew haven’t seen any
combat yet, but they’re eager enough. Unfortunately for them, the Germans still
have some fight left in them, and they also have some pretty impressive
hardware. The question is can they keep their tanks together long enough to
find help before the Brits do them in.
This is a story about two opposing unit commanders trying to
do their jobs, which is keeping their men and gear in one piece long enough to
count as a victory. Ennis is well known for his war stories, and this has all
the makings of another great one. The art also really helps to sell the gritty
reality of war.
They say war is hell, and driving around Europe in the
summer in thick metal boxes probably isn’t helping that feeling for either set
of chaps. This story will come down to a battle of wits, and it looks to be a
good one. Check it out.
