Review! DC New 52 (The Bad): Men of War #1

COVER: Viktor Kalvachev. This is the first time I see Viktors work. Not bad. Simple, yet it has a dark feel  
                 to it that makes you want to open up the book.
STORY: Ivan Brandon. It is the story of Sgt. Rock, but a new Sgt. Rock, not the one you know and love.
                In the story we have two appearances of "super' humans. One leaves a red trail when flying, the
                other a purple one. being in the new DC universe you can guess as good as me as to who these
                guys are. There is also a backup story about Navy Seals by Jonathan Vankin and Phil Winslade.
                A straight up modern war story for those who love that kind of thing.
ART: Tom Derenick. Decent artwork with just a bit of cartoony panels to keep it from being great. These
           kind of stories work best with realistic artwork or darker, moody, almost noir feel. The backup story
           looks very "Kubert" to me and it fits. If you like war comics this is for you. Not my cup of tea.
FINAL FILE: #1 and Done
