Preview

The Comic
When your country is at war, don't decide to take residence in an abandoned house.

Knowing that this comic will be taking a break after the next issue, we get a mostly set up issue to show some character development and back story before diving into the conclusion of the first arc.

It is ok. Whatever made these kids think that taking up residence in the middle of a war field would be ok is beyond me. Peter rolled with it though, which is kinda surprising. Makes me wonder if he wanted it to happen so that way one of them would be killed and they would listen to him more.

Let's see what happens to conclude this first issue.

The Art
The art gets me a little still. When the ending happened, I really wondered who it was that was killed. Seriously, unless you are reading these issues one after the other, it can be difficult to distinguish one character from another.

The Cover
It felt a little crowded, if that makes sense. The character's faces popped out, but everything else had this bland color to it that just didn't make it pop for me.

Grades
Words: 7/10
Pictures: 6/10
Recommend: Eh. Skippable.
Buy Next Issue: I'll get it to complete the first story arc, but that is about it for now. Unless it ends on a bigger bang than this issue did.
