There are a lot of easy tropes to use when writing about vets, but @PaulAllor and @ChrisEvenhuis relied on none of them in G.I. Joe #7. A humanizing and honest look at the long road home, including a listing of resources and support orgs for vets in the back pages. Beautiful job. pic.twitter.com/2LesUWiN56

It’s a stellar NCBD, but the standout is unquestionably G.I. JOE #7 from @ChrisEvenhuis & @PaulAllor. It deals with some heavy topics in an honest, unsparing, and ultimately hopeful fashion. Plus, it’s also a masterclass in compressed storytelling. You want this. pic.twitter.com/eJtA3JC5oV

G.I. Joe isn't the franchise I'd normally associate with penetrating, achingly bittersweet perspectives on PTSD. More fool me because @PaulAllor and @ChrisEvenhuis' G.I. JOE #7, which drops tomorrow, is a gut punch of an issue. Truly remarkable work. pic.twitter.com/xKMPISrW49
