Aces: Curse Of The Red Baron

by Shannon Eric Denton, G. Willow Wilson

It's World War I. Amidst the bloodshed, a British flying ace and an American infantryman steal a map from the body of the Red Baron, a map they believe leads to his lost treasure. The two adventurers desert their posts and embark on a remarkable quest that leads them into enemy territory, past vanishing islands, secret organizations, and a confrontation with the ghost of the map's previous owner -- the Red Baron himself!

Reviews

[J. Bryce · Rating 1 out of 5]

This was surprisingly bad. The art was messy and inaccurate (did those guys steal a Sopwith Camel, as they said, or a weirdo Sopwith Camel/Sopwith One-and-a-half Strutter mutant, as illustrated?), the copy editing terrible ("Stockholme"? Really? A plane gets shot down and goes into a "talkspin" rather than a tailspin?), the story convoluted and silly - though conspiracy theorists might disagree.

Just wasted twenty minutes of my life.

I love G. Willow Wilson's work, but this attempt at a WWI thrilling adventure didn't work very well. Nothing really bad, just pretty dull.
