[Secret Wars] Where Monsters Dwell #1-2

[superboyprime]

"I had no plans to [return to the character], having said all I had to with the character — or so I thought. But isolating the character from his World War I setting, considering him out of context, I realized I quite liked the idea of writing him for his own sake." - Garth Ennis

Enter the region of Battleworld known as... THE VALLEY OF THE FLAME.

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs...

...and racism! Seriously, was making the "native" tribe a caricature really necessary, Ennis/Braun?

[tigerkaya]

meh.

[captainbellman]

meh?

[captainbellman]

I assume one of the "Monsters" referred to in the title is the male protagonist himself?

[thehood]

And the dinosaurs, but yeah.

"I came out of the war thinking I was owed something..."

Regardless of what you did, you are not "owed" sex from any woman you look at, and by implying that you feel you should be you've forfeited anything else you might actually /have/ been owed in terms of respect.

This art has a strong John Severin and Marie Severin vibe to it. I wonder if that's intentional, or just how Russ Braun draws.

Even though the Phantom Eagle is a jerk, this story shows Garth Ennis can "tone it down" when he wants to.

[lordultimus]

Yeah. As far as lecherous Garth Ennis characters go, Eagle fits somewhere near the bottom.

[thehood]

I ended up liking Clemmie more than Phantom Eagle, but that was probably intentional.
