The first half of this miniseries is hideously overwritten full of portentous allusions to toxic masculinity and the cycle of abuse.
It traces dual storylines: one set in Vietnam during the American occupation and the other in contemporary Mexico where American mercenaries interact with Mexican cartels.
Neither tells anything interesting or new about either conflict. Despite what some of the inner voice of the captions say about the nature of masculinity, the story ultimately boils down to a duel between two men. A tedious battle for supremacy and revenge between two white men wrecking havoc on those around them.
The black character's story is clearly secondary. Spike Lee's Da 5 Bloods had more interesting things to say about Vietnam, racism and the legacy of war.
The art is fine but also wouldn't feel out of place in a Punisher comic making you wonder what the creators are trying to say here.
This isn't a bad comic, it wasn't my thing but the real problem is that it feels unnecessary.
