SGT. Rock (Issue #5 of 6)

So it’s taken me a bit longer to get back to the this series than I’d hoped (long story…) The narrative arc has reached its peak, with the 442 breaking through to the Lost Battalion. SGT Rock only has a few lines in this issue, and honestly, he’s sort of lost in the “big-ness” of […]

SGT Rock (Between Hell and a Hard Place, 2004)

Man, this one fell into my lap, as in “hey, you want this?” “Sure,” I said.  Nice. Between Hell and a Hard Place is a Hurtgen forest tale, and more than anything else, it’s a murder mystery. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting this. Writer: Brian Azzarello Art: Joe Kubert (longtime ROCK keeper) Let’s get to it: […]

Check my previous reviews of issues here and here.  We’re finally getting the sense that Rock is the leader, and comic book fans will likely dig the haunted tank angle, which “was originally […]

SGT. Rock (Issue #2 of 6)

So I finally got to read the second issue of the new SGT. Rock comic book release, and I can say this without hesitation: while I don’t hate it just yet, it’s more than a little underwhelming.  The art is washed out, which fits the mood of the piece in spots, and this seems appropriate […]

SGT Rock (Issue #1 of 6)

I finally got the chance to read the new re-issue of SGT. Rock, a comic I used to read off and on WAY back in the day. The great Joe Kubert did the original and now Billy Tucci is serving up the sequel in six issues. My take? It was okay. I am interested to […]
