I friggin' love this series, unapologetically. Caanan White has made this some type of manly man wet dream. It's extremely extreme. That's the best way I can describe it.
Yes, the summed up synopsis is: shit goes down during WWII when the Germans succeed in creating "Panzermensch" which are super-huge, super-strong soldiers with some serious eye sparkle that allows them to annihilate whole arrangements of troops in a matter of minutes. Then, the story follows the idea once the Japanese and the British get a hold of the new genetic tech, and how that changes key dates and details during the war.
However, there's something visceral I'm drawn to in the series. The art is very....er....I don't want to keep saying masculine but there's nothing else I know of. The bodies are all muscular and bulky. The expressions tend to all be varying degrees of anger. And the gore....there have been some pages where the amount of gore was truly surprising.
Like Sieglinde's complete and utter destruction to start and round out the near end of this issue. I don't really think it's a spoiler to say that one of the Panzermensch obliterated another city: That's kinda what they do. And every time some new invention--new soldier, new tank, new missile--gets deployed, the panzermensch reign supreme. Although dissension in the ranks of the nazi panzermensch gives this a new direction and new level of appreciation. I didn't realize they kept so much of their former selves after the transformation.
Yeah--I just kinda really like this one. Always makes me feel like I grew another hair on my chest or actually grew a testicle after I read these.
