Conor likes it when Garth Ennis writes war comics, because then Garth Ennis makes his best comics. Luckily Dynamite has given him the ability to do so, and we get this trio of World War 2 tales with Battlefields Vol. 1. Collecting Night Witches, Dear Billy, and Tankies, Ennis and his exceptional artists bring unique corners of the war right to the reader, and it is captivating.

Todd McFarlane was as big a creator as there was when he left Marvel and co-founded Image Comics, and Spawn was his masterpiece, and it's still going today.

Image is releasing high quality reprint collections of McFarlane's signature creation, and it is still a good example of some pretty good comics.

Writer Joshua Dysart captures a war torn Uganda and the absolute horrors of the harsh life there, and combines it with a new take on a classic DC property, creating the Unknown Soldier.
