The return of artist R.M. Guera is good news. The art here is incredibly detailed, gritty, full-blown and majestic. Guera's style fits perfectly with writer Jason Aaron's crime-infested narrative. The lowlifes and gangsters are dark and evil and bad ass and come across as warriors. The story in this issue is a flashback to Vietnam. Wade was in the war, then smuggled heroin, then was asked to work undercover for the F.B.I. in South Dakota. The target? Gina Bad Horse. As much as I hate that this book keeps circling around the main story, this current flashback arc is a great one. The art helps, but the writing is in a class by itself. It's epic and awesome. ***1/2
