Matamoros -- The GWOT's first graphic novel
Chuck Sobietti was a seventeen-year veteran of the U.S. military. Hed seen it all - Gulf War I, Somalia, Bosnia, Afghanistan - but nothing in his experience could prepare him for one fateful day in Iraq and its aftermath.
Part political thriller, part war story, and part classic action comic book, Matamoros follows one of Americas heroes in the Long War - an ordinary guy who discovers that only extraordinary situations exist when the enemy is a protean entity which refuses to adhere to the laws of war or the laws of civilized nations.
Written by Sleet and Darius LaMonica, and illustrated by John Cox of the Cox & Forkum political cartoon team, Matamoros is the first comic book focusing on the U.S. militarys fight against radical Islamists.
There's also an interview with author Darius LaMonica at FrontPage Magazine.
