WAR IS HELL FIRST FLIGHT PHANTOM EAGLE #1

Written by GARTH ENNIS Penciled by HOWARD CHAYKIN Cover by JOHN CASSADAY Set against the grim backdrop of Word War I, mysterious aviator Karl Kaufmann arrives on the western front dressed outlandishly and at the controls of his own plane. Overconfident and full of romantic ideals, he has come to fight and kill the Hun. But soon Kaufmann confronts staggering loss and witnesses violence on a scale he has never imagined. In the process, he learns the harsh truth of conflict: war is hell. Written by Garth Ennis and drawn by Howard Chaykin.

It's coming out from Marvel Max

Good, good. War Stories are some of the best comics I've read period, I expect nothing but the best here.

I hope that it's 100% serious and that there's no kind of shenanigans

I'm impressed Ennis is writing a war book that doesn't involve Viet Nam. He reminds me of Walter in that respect... But seriously, this book looks pretty incredible. I'm sorry to see him go on Punisher MAX, but I'm glad he wants to stretch himself a little more. They should just end the Punisher MAX book and let Ennis end it.

He did a whole series of awesome World War II books.
