Not sure what to think of this one. I liked the premise of the story, but there's no meat to it. It's far too short and too simplistic. And I guess this is the paradox of many graphic novels. It's prohibitively expensive and time intensive to produce a complex story in graphic novel form without it extending over many volumes and costing the reader a small fortune. This book cost $15 and took maybe an hour to read, with a fairly unsatisfactory story. That's not a particularly good value for a reader.A war is being fought using time travel. Humans from the past/future travel through time to pillage the resources of the future/past. The problem with EVERY time travel story is that it introduces another type of paradox that causes the story to completely implode on itself. Avoid telling time travel stories unless they are humorous or parodies.Lastly, it has a title that is...odd...for the subject. Not one I would have chosen. I'll let you look it up on Urban Dictionary... First of all, I am a big fan of Jonathan Hickman's writing. I think he is brilliant. Also, Nick Pitarra is an amazing artist with a slightly dark and quirky imagination. However, I was not blown away by this series. The concept was certainly intriguing, a war being fought through different eras by armies with time travel technology. The philosophy of all time, past, present, and future, occurring simultaneously at different frequencies is a provocative one and the theme of sons paying for the sins of the fathers is well-executed. That said, despite the great ideas and twists, the narrative just did not live up to expectations. Hickman has mined similar concepts in books like The Fantastic Four to much better effect.
What do You think about The Red Wing (2011)?
This book is pants. After someone's done a wet fart in them.

Ending really does not explain itself.
