Our Army at War (War One-Shot) #1

This 2010 one-shot brings Sgt. Rock roaring back in a cover by Joe Kubert that splits the image into two eras of combat — on the left, a battle-worn WWII soldier charges forward amid flames, ammunition belts across his chest, rallying troops through the smoke and rubble; on the right, a modern soldier in digital camouflage advances with rifle raised, his squad pressing forward against a burning backdrop. The bold tagline "War Is War" anchors both halves, making the thematic connection impossible to miss. Written by Mike Marts with art by Victor Ibáñez, this is a sharp, self-contained entry in DC's war comics tradition that wears its heart on its sleeve.
