This beautiful comic book is set in an alternate reality 1946 WWII, where mad scientists and engineers have redesigned the way war is fought. The Allies (America, Russia, Europe, and South America) are embroiled with the Axis (Germany, Japan, and Africa), who have discovered an alien spaceship in the Artic and have begun using the advanced technology discovered within. You would think Zombie shock troops and mutant Ape soldiers violently clashing with paratroopers and robot armored commandos can be confusing, but the Image crew pulls it off without a hitch. Each frame is a piece of fine art in itself with vibrant and gorgeous images thrown into your face. An extraordinary attention to detail can be seen in the lush back drops and machinations. Believe me you have to get your hands on this one; I personally cannot wait for issue #2 of Dust to arrive.
