if I may have permission to engage in the time honoured tradition of bitching on the internet….what the fuck is the OG MW 2 Ghost Backstory comic. I would never expect excellence from *\that/* publishing house, but Holy Sweet Jesus Dude. I The most edgy, nonsensical artist’s nightmare I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading. I was suddenly reminded that Simon Riley was basically 14 year old Activision’s first OC. Visual identity of character designs? Nonexistent. Looks like a 70’s sketch artist’s LSD trip. Accurate characterization? Nope, who even is this guy. Bizzare SA against a male character that somehow loops back around to being titillating for 14 year old boys? CHECK, CHECK AND DOUBLE CHECK, BABY!! It’s so cartoonishly evil and edgy that would almost loop back around to being funny if not how fucking odd it is. The problem with having a great amount of passion for media that is geared towards an audience that consumes at a surface level is you find yourself wanting to look the character’s creator dead in the eyes and scream “he would NOT fucking say that”. I was hardly surprised Garth Ennis had his slimy little fingers in the project. If you become curious about 009 Ghost’s backstory, genuinely do not bother with it, do yourself a favor and search AO3. The talented, awesome young freaks there can write better representation of PTSD, the effects of torture, and cycles of familial violence than an entire team of paid writers.
Just wanted to share this scan of There Are No Flowers in the Real World, a David Lapham short story set in the universe of The Matrix from Free Comic Book Day 2002.
I know it's mostly manga here but sometimes I like to share some US comics and bande dessinée stuff too! And by the way if you don't know David Lapham, you should definitely try reading Stray Bullets!

"NEW WARS! NEW SOLDIERS! SAME OLD PRICE TO PAY…
Kiss your rifle and swallow your fear, because EC Comics is rotating back into combat for the 21st century’s first dose of two-fisted fury with staggering new tales of war and fighting men in our next giant-sized special!
Meet mankind’s greatest enemy of all — himself — as commanding writers Julio Anta (This Land Is Our Land: A Blue Beetle Story), John Arcudi (B.P.R.D.), Benito Cereno (Invincible Presents: Atom Eve), and Michael W. Conrad (Double Walker) lead a joint campaign alongside artistic bombardiers Tom Fowler (EC’s Catacomb of Torment), David Lapham (Stray Bullets), Albert Monteys (Slaughterhouse-Five: The Graphic Novel), and Shawn Martinbrough (Thief of Thieves) that will always bring enemy and ally, private and general, to the same reward in the end: a flag-draped casket and glory posthumously conferred. Plus: This 56-page testament to fortitude also features another all-time EC classic, painstakingly remastered and restored!
You’ve warmed yourselves by the pyres of SHIVER SUSPENSTORIES… You’ve grabbed OUTLAW SHOWDOWN by both red-hot barrels… And you’ve felt the poison touch of TORTURED HEARTS. But nothing can prepare you for what awaits — or who you will become — when you finally reach the front line. Here, there can be no peace — only SHELLSHOCK!"
