Unknown Soldier falls into that Vertigo mold of updating an old DC property. This is however worlds apart from Swamp Thing, Doom Patrol or Shade. Unknown Soldier takes place in the very real and very fucked up miliue of Northern Uganda, where a not particulalry nice man named Joseph Kony leads an army of brain washed children on a crusade to create a theocratic state based on the ten commandments.
This is a story where a self described pacifist loses his cool and tortures a man to death. Unknown Soldier explores the limits of pacifism as well as the futility of violence. It's a tragic, well-researched, depressing, amazing, violent story.
