Apparently, we're not being told just yet, but
for what it's worth, writer Mark Powers sets up
a rather intriguing preamble to a larger map
involving aliens that's still left dangling
until the official series begins its run. But
set-up is basic; different characters with
different narratives are introduced, and there's
so much left to come.
The
cover pretty much says it all, and with a
healthy dose of "Taken," I suspect "Drafted"
will have an interesting life with fans. The
preview issue, for the investigative few, will
pretty much say it all for us. Humans are being
drafted all around the world to fight a war, and
it's a war that doesn't involve Muslims or any
kind of terrorists we've ever seen.
I'm
beaming with excitement, because I suspect
"Drafted" will be a larger allegory for the war
in Iraq, along with the obviously hinted power
hungry president who seems to lust the
destruction occurring across the world. With one
ominous final panel in the end of the book,
you'll know the series is at its start, and I
can't wait for the first issue for a better idea
of the characters, and aliens waiting in the
wings.
Now available from Devil's Due.
