World War II File

I recently picked up the SCI-FI comic Ignition City, and while it is not a WW II-themed comic, author Warren Ellis and illustrator Gianluca Pagliarani do manage to work in a rather famous image, with a twist.  Fans of the SCI-FI genre know all about alt-realities, and this is certainly an interesting take on that idea.  Those would be spaceships as part of the Russian advance on Berlin.

I like the fact, too, that IC brings bits of Firefly/Serenity to the table and has a hard edge to it.  With only one issue under my belt, I’ve yet to see that sharp irony that’s always around in Joss Weedon’s work.  But we’ll see.  I’m keeping an open mind.
