Shocking as a muzzle flash in a dark alley, the Black Heart Irregulars is a noirish and paranoid war/spy comic set in modern Baghdad. The Black Hearts are not soldiers or mercenaries, but freelance terrorists who give traditional terrorists something to fear. Their story takes place in a gritty modern landscape, where cultures clash on a battlefield that spans the globe. Artist Ulises Carpintero’s style brings to mind the action and mystery of 100 Bullets. Writer Neil Hendrick delivers a frightening story, both current and cool. Includes special features about the comic and about terrorism.
