I wouldn’t describe Shooters as a comic that’s an easy read.

I don’t mean that in the sense that the words on the page are too difficult to read, or the panel structure is too complex or that it has narrative problems in any way. In fact that’s far from the truth. What I mean to say is this – the emotional content displayed throughout Shooters isn’t easy to handle.

And that’s a damn good thing.

With William taking the week off, Dane brings in Justin Vactor to talk about Avengers vs X-Men, Swamp Thing and Animal Man.

No show notes this week, so let us know what you think in the comments!

William talks about his problems with Avengers vs X-Men #0 (and the Avengers line as a whole), while Dane discusses what isn’t working for him in Superman, but the two join together in a love fest over Avenging Spider-Man #5.

Full show notes after the break.

I’ve been excited for Shooters for a while now.

The story looks to be a compelling read: set in the early days of the Iraq War campaign, featuring a troubled protagonist dealing the real consequences of waging war, the book has been on my radar for quite some time now, but it doesn’t appear that others are paying attention.

Perhaps that’s the reason why the creative team of Eric Trautmann, Brandon Jerwa and drawn by Eisner Award-winning artist Steve Lieber, have launched an “unofficial” official site for Shooters, providing new content (every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) leading up to the book’s release. It’s the perfect resource to get any and all the information needed before the April 18th release.

After the jump, we’ve got the official description for the book, but don’t linger here for long – head over to the site and do some digging for yourself. Shooters looks to be one of the year’s most talked about books and it’s worth it to be informed now, instead of later.
