Army@Love

In two oversized issues from DC Comics, Rick Veitch wrote and drew this darkly satirical look at a near-future American military, where a defense contractor's private army fights a resource war in Africa while back home, a reality TV show tracks their romantic entanglements. Veitch's detailed, expressive art and sharp, cynical dialogue create a world where patriotism, commerce, and spectacle are dangerously intertwined. A pointed, often uncomfortable commentary on the merging of war and entertainment, Army@Love stands as a singular, provocative artifact of the late 2000s.
