Garth Ennis

Carlos Ezquerra

When all the chips are down, and it looks like the sun is about to set on old Blighty for good, there's only one team to call to keep Britannia ruling the waves: the Rifle Brigade! Acclaimed writer Garth Ennis unleashes his formidable command of both military history and violent absurdity to bring to life the most daring and insane band of commandos ever to hoist a Union Jack.

It pains me to write this one but yeah. It was just ok. 

Really like most of Garth Ennis' stuff, but this one just didn't do anything for me. I knew I was about to read something about war and something funny. Already know Ennis is a master on writing about war stuff and military in general, and his comedy moments are top notch at times (see Preacher).

But this one is just bland and kinda boring at times. It's still funny and has its moments but it's not interesting to read. Had absolutely no interest to read what happens next or care for anything and what was supposed to be funny, well.. wasn't.

The artwork is ok, it's the cartoony style you'd read on UK/FR weekly newspapers and it was right to the point as to blend with the story and its theme. 

The characters weren't interesting at all. And the main story was boring and with no pay off.

A band of brothers if you will, trying to go all spec'ops on Germany against Hitler and whatnot having adventures and missions and shit and that's about it.

Too many repetitive jokes that weren't funny, except the one about Doubtful and Darcy that was, and the only one that I remember after ending this book. SO yeah...! 

Wouldn't recommend it. Sorry!
