| Bulletin: | AINT IT COOL NEWS likes ACES: Curse of the Red Baron! ACES: CURSE OF THE RED BARON OGN published by AIT/Planet Lar http://www.aintitcool.com/node/37590 Continuing with their trend of releasing books that depend on strong storytelling and a real world fantacism, ACES tells a World War I story of a British airman and an American soldier who take part in a series of events that end up saving the world. The two soldiers have a fist fight over who shot down the legendary Red Baron. This brawl ends with the two becoming an unlikely team to track down the Red Baron's secret treasure. ACES is filled with both historical facts and fun embellishments on the War to End All Wars. This book does a great job of making you wonder what is actual fact and what was made up to suit the story. It's a fun adventure that reads like a serial and embraces some truly thrilling action sequences. The best compliment I can give here is that this would make one hell of a war film. The slightly sci-fi angle that arises in the third act is slightly jarring, but that doesn't take away from the fact that this is a strongly written bit of fiction by Shannon Eric Denton and G. Willow Wilson, with gritty and loose art by Curtis Square-Briggs that intensifies the reading experiences with its reliance on heavy darks and minimal lights. Highly recommended for those of you who love your pulp and wartime stories served with a bit of flair and a strong feeling of high adventure. World War I. Amid the bloodshed, a British flying ace and an American infantryman steal a map from the body of the Red Baron...a map they believe leads to his lost treasure. The two adventurers desert their posts and embark on a remarkable quest that leads them into enemy territory, past vanishing islands, secret organizations, and confronting the ghost of the map's previous owner . . . the Red Baron! This graphic novel is brought to you by Shannon Eric Denton, G. Willow Wilson, Curtis Square-Briggs, and publisher AiT/Planet Lar! MAR08 3393 ISBN-10: 193205152X ISBN-13: 978-1932051520 |
