UBER VOL 2 TPB
Retail Price: $19.99 US
Writer: Kieron Gillen
Cover &Art: Caanan White
MR, Color, 160 pages
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: KIERON GILLEN redefined the alternate history comic by radically revitalizing the super soldier in the pages of Uber. This sweeping war epic shows all the grime, and fear, and blood of enhanced soldier warfare in an unrelenting World War II drama. The first blow in the battle between English and German Ubers has been wrought and neither nation walks away whole. The war rages on in the Pacific Theatre as Japanese Kamikaze pilots attempt to drive the US forces out while delivering devastating losses to the enemy naval fleet. But the tides of war change as the Japanese deploy their own enhanced soldiers and the Germans deliver their devastating secret attack. Uber Vol 2 TP collects issues #6 – 11 of the ongoing Uber comic book series.
"In Rover Red Charlie, an uncomprehending dog's-eye view of the apocalypse, perhaps the medium's finest writer essays a breathtaking feat of the imagination with enormous heart and not a trace of sentiment. Given a damp and warm reality by Michael DiPascale's beautifully-judged art, Garth Ennis manages, with hardly any homo sapiens in sight, to tell what is quite possibly the most profoundly human story of his already astonishing career. This is a book for life, not just for Christmas. – ALAN MOORE"

Now he and his friends Rover and Red must escape the bloody city and find their way in this strange master-less new world. Ennis applies his incredible talent for shockingly original tales and spot-on dialogue in this fully painted story will change the way you look at pets and takes you on a spiritual journey of rediscovery through the eyes of these canine best friends.

This volume includes a special introduction chapter to the world of Gravel for new readers and brings one of comics longest running independent characters back to the bloody violence filled world he pioneered.
