So the characters became a group of Hulks. Makes it hard to follow because, while they have unique backgrounds and emotions, they speak similarly and their appearances are distorted because of the cartoony art style and the Hulking. I think the book would go better with fewer characters. But things are moving forward.

Another horrifying episode that seems all too plausible . . .

The secret history of the Super Soldier Project continues. The project experiments on the 300 Black Soldiers - horrifying medical experiments on Americans considered expendable because of their skin color. Most die horribly. A handful survive - the cartoonist art exaggerating their bulging muscles with contorted bodies - a deliberate artistic choice, I'm sure, reflecting the distorted image of Black bodies in the popular imagination of white America. On the journey by ship to Europe, the Sarge tells the story of the Red Summer of 1919 ( "The War At Home" - an incident as forgotten by white American culture as the destruction of Black Wall Street), and one more of their colleagues does from the Super Soldier Serum, hallucinating visions of his African ancestors welcoming him among them . . .

If you saw the Falcon and the Winter Soldier Disney+ series, you may have some familiarity with Isaiah Bradley. The series is his origin story. Testing unproven science on soldiers, an unwillingness to treat black soldiers with the same dignity as white G.I.s, and the willingness of them to be heroic all the same. It feels a bit ham-fisted at times, but you get the point.

I’ve never heard of the riots that are referred to as “Red Summer”, but that’s not surprising. The American school system would like to bury its head in the sand when it come to the seemingly limitless number of atrocities white people are capable of committing against Black people.

We see some of what the secret mission is, but how easily disposed of these soldiers are. The art is better than the previous issue, but not as good as the first.

Excellent reading

Excellent of of the mistreatment of people of color going back to the Tuskegee experiments. Interesting start to the super soldier project.
