Did not expect to give a world of tanks comics collection 5 stars, but it earned it! I was in no rush to read it (it was a gift), but found myself with insomnia but too agitated to read my "real" books, so I dove in to see what it was like. Ive been reading it non stop, *hours* past the point I got tired enough to sleep! Its great! The art is fantastic, but the two stories - one from the allied side, one from the german - are both fully developed and rich. the tank crews are not homogeneous but
Nostalgia value really, it's just like those old Commando comics, only in colour.
Few writers I've read manage to bring WW2 to life like Ennis can. Here he goes as far as to give the same amount of humanity to the Nazi characters as well. They are soldiers too, with fears and flaws, just like every other soldier in the war, not just mindless puppets that need to be mowed down by the righteous Allies.War is as much fought inside a soldier's mind as it is on the field of battle. The generals try to prevent moral drops caused by rumors, but they still spread like wildfire among
Love all of the war books by Ennis. This was another great one!
It’s one month after D-Day and the Allied liberation of Europe is in full-swing. British Cromwell tanks and American Shermans are on their way to Berlin – standing in their way are a dwindling, but powerful, number of German Panzers. World of Tanks: Roll Out follows the crews of a British Cromwell and a German Panzer as they head towards their fateful encounter – who’ll live, who’ll die?It’s a Garth Ennis war comic which means it’s sheer class! Seriously, Ennis’ war comics are easily his best wo...
Garth Ennis has reenlisted in the war. He tells the tale of 2 tank crews on opposite sides of the conflict in 1944 France. He adds a nice twist with the British crew, which is good because their tanks were clearly inferior. The art and coloring are good but during the battle scenes there isn't enough difference between the 2 sides and it's hard to tell who's who. The story doesn't have anything to do with the video game from what I could see other than it's about tanks.
Oh! I just noticed, I apparently have never reviewed the first Ennis story I’ve read. Yep, being a fan of World of Tanks is what got me to start reading one of my favorite authors! Alright...What’s it about?A group of Brits and a group of Germans have to start fighting with tanks during WW2 but there’s something different about the British tank.Why it gets 5 stars:The story is very well done. Just like Ennis’ Battlefields stories I like how it shows both sides of the story.The art is freaking aw...
I was a bit worried that this was a tie-in to some video game, but Garth Ennis delivers yet another solid story of World War II.
Garth Ennis is probably needed a new pool, or I can not explain how he gets to write this comics book in such a "quality". Well, I was playing WoT for few years, but I eventually get annoyed by how the Wargaming manage it (and I hate pay-to-win games). And I do not see anything specifically WoT related here. It is just some another WW2 story about two tank crews, one British and other from Germany wermacht. They have their struggle both with the enemy and their own army. The message of this comi...
Nice little story focusing on the crew of a British Cromwell tank in Normandy, with a parallel secondary storyline about the Captain of a platoon of German Panthers. The story is solid and believable, but the art wasn't quite up to the job of carrying it fully. It sometimes tries to tell an action scene in a single panel when it needs a page or two. The result comes off a bit cartoony. Maybe it was meant as an homage to the war comics of old, but it just served to pull me out of the story.Despit...
I’d never heard of the online game World of Tanks, much less played it, but I’m a big fan of Garth Ennis’ war comics. And as I suspected, you don’t need to know anything about the game to read this. It’s about tanks, of course, specifically a young British tank crew and veteran German Panzer unit crossing paths after D-Day. I like how Ennis contrasts their experiences here. He even creates some empathy for one of the Germans, which is always tough to pull off. I do wish he fleshed out the charac...
Garth Ennis can write warfare.
Lecture sympathique qui sort un peu des poncifs du genre. même si c'est dans le contexte d'un jeu en ligne massivement multijoueur, Ennis nous fournit un récit de guerre honnête quoique pas transcendant, mais j'estime ne pas avoir été roulé en terme de rapport qualité/prix.4/5
A tad disappointing.
It would've been again piece of war comic brilliance by Ennis if it would've been illustrated all the way through by Esquerra. He is the master. Sadly, for some reason, only two issues were by the maestro.Oh well, still. Solid reading, gripping.No. I'm not going to give the game this is based to a chance.
I'll take any excuse for Garth Ennis to write more war comics, even if it is a tie-in to a video game I've no interest in. As usual, it's great; sadly Ezquerra only does 2 of the 5 chapters but PJ Holden holds his end up very well. By now Ennis might seem old hat at showing the horrors of war, leavened with black humor, focusing on the camaraderie of the soldiers and the small details of their daily lives and what it means to be at war, but never take him for granted. His dialogue is economical,...
