The New York Times - Douglas Wolk

Kyle Baker's graphic novel…reads at first like a nearly straightforward military fantasy, drawn with a peculiar hybrid of hyper realistic precision and nutty exaggeration. Eventually, though, Baker bares his fangs: the book is the harshest, most serrated satire of the Iraq war yet published.
