Terrifics #7 cover by Dale Eaglesham and Ivan Nunes
Jeff Lemire has this weird niche now of mixing Gold and Silver Age throwback comics that mix modern storytelling methods and a slight injection of cynicism Between Terrifics, Sentry, and Black Hammer, this is a pretty clear through-line Even using Tom Strong is like co-opting someone else's Golden Age throwback character for a different Golden[...]

Jeff Lemire aims to faithfully recreate the British/German front in WWI, complete with brutal slaughter, disease, and nihilistic hopelessness.
