Light Brigade written by Peter J Tomasi, art by Peter Snejbjerg, colors by Bjarne Hansen, letters by Ken Lopez & Rob Leigh
Just your standard WW2 story where a group of U.S. infantry are recruited by the immortal Centurion Marcus Longinus to stop a fallen angel and his army of near immortal half-human offspring from igniting an archangels Wrathful Sword upon the ever-burning Cross of the Nazarene and using it to overthrow God. So you know, same old same old...
Plus its drawn by Snejbjerg who I've loved since way back when he was on Books of Magic. And here he gives Frank Quietly a run for the money in the ability to draw humans that have been shot to fuck and back...
But the main appeal here is the story again. Which is kind of Devil's Brigade meets Zulu meets Demon Knight. So you know, its chock full of awesome and plenty of scenes where Nazi's get shot...
