I was excited about this off-the-rails story from the get-go, and enjoyed reviewing the first three issues. When I met Dave Dwonch at Wondercon this year, he told me it was based on an experience he had in the Middle East. I didn't ask him to show me his scars from the bullet wounds. Thankfully, his fingers looked okay!
