Headstrong, brilliant, ballsy, conflicted, supremely talented, and maybe just a little insane. That’s my friend and colleague, the war reporter David Axe. Over the past five years or so, I’ve had the unique pleasure — and sometimes, the gut-burning pain — of being Axe’s on-again, off-again editor as he’s reported from Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Chad, East Timor, and a thousand other awful locales. But as hot as his blog posts (or his newspaper articles, or his TV spots) have been, it’s his comic books that’ve emerged as the hottest of all. Freed from assignments, writing for himself, Axe in his graphic novels explores his inner conflicts with the same intensity he records the ones between guerrillas and counterinsurgents.
