Sunday Trade: Army@Love

Army@Love: The Hot Zone Club written & penciled by Rick Veitch, inked by Gary Erskine, colored by Jose Villarrubia & Brian Miller, lettered by Travis Lanham

So the setting, mostly the fictional Afbahgistan which is under invasion by U.S. forces. Who are working at upping their recruitment levels in all kinds of ways. Like glamorizing life in combat or having mixed-gender combat units. Or other more experimental and secretive morale building methods...

And there is the cast. You've got Switzer the former good girl turned combat junkie and Flabbergast a sometime stage magician. Who initiate the Hot Zone Club by having sex while taking and returning fire. Or Switzer's at home husband, who juggles cons with his jealousies about his wife while having an affair with Allie the wife of Healy the head of Motivation and Morale. Along with a host of other soldiers, locals, crazy business moguls, crooks and mystics...

Veitch presents a cynical, sexy look at war, politics and love. And of course the difficulties in telling them apart...
