Rubicon

There's not much to love about this book. The art can sometimes be great, but more often than not it's muddy. My best guess is this is done intentionally to simulate the confusion of war, but I was frequently confused as to who was on which side. I knew whose side the Americans were on, but it was necessary for them to tell you who was killed because you had no attachment, didn't know the names, and had a hard time realizing who was killed from panel to panel.

I think the biggest crime of this whole book is that it's too short. Instead of feeling like an epic last stand, it comes across as a chore, something they're taking care of in a day or two.
