The old players are gone, at least for a bit, and we get this strange respite about a soldier returning from his time in Afghanistan. He's losing his mind. He sees an Ancient Greek warrior following him for no good reason. Does it have something to do with the innocent father he accidentally killed? Or perhaps his dead comrades killed by a bomb? I guess this story is adapted from some Ancient Greek text. Perhaps footnotes or an author's end-note would be helpful to make the connection. We are, after all, comic book readers, not Rhodes Scholars. There's a new artist drawing this arc, Werther Dell'Erdera. His stuff is bare, stark, comic-y but nice. It's basic, and the story is as well. It feels a little tired. **
