Sinossi
Baghdad, 2003. La guerra al terrore dura ormai da due anni, e la capitale irachena è devastata. Non essendoci neanche una forza di polizia a mantenere accettabile il livello di sicurezza, al consulente militare Chris Henry viene chiesto di addestrare degli uomini destinati a diventare nuovi agenti. Ma le buone intenzioni non basteranno nel caos generatosi dal post 11 settembre, e quando una delle reclute di Henry viene trovata morta, inizierà un lungo viaggio nei sanguinosi misteri e nei sotterfugi che l'esercito americano sta cercando di nascondere. In questo libro raccogliamo l'intera miniserie di 12 numeri "Sheriff of Babylon", scritta da Tom King ("Batman", "Omega men") e disegnata da Mitch Gerads ("Batman").

You can find my review on my blog by clicking here . Way before Tom King got on board to write Batman for the Rebirth era of DC Comics, he was an ex-CIA operations officer in Iraq and racked up a couple of months of experience that he later translated into a phenomenal wartime crime thriller known as Leggi tutto
Un relat que navega en la complexitat de l'ésser humà i les decisions que aquest pren dins un conflicte bèlic. Tom King construeix tres personatges principals que li fan de crossa per tal d'incidir en aquestes zones grises d'un escenari sanguinolent on res mai conclou. És un guió molt ben filat de l Leggi tutto
Cítím se občas trochu trapně když hodnotím něco od Toma Kinga protože jeho věci mám hrozně rád. Líbí se mi jak si během vaření kafe v CIA vysnil jak by to mohlo vypadat v akci. Sheriff of Aquapark Babylon Liberec je upřímně fakt skvělej, protože se s tím zkrátka nesere a nebojí se ošklivé věci ukazo Leggi tutto
First of all I was shocked to know that before a comic writer, Tom King was actually a CIA agent! This story is inspired by his experiences in Iraq around the time of 2004. This was my first book by Tom King and I have to say his writing is great. He made the characters of this story so complex, rea Leggi tutto
Originally posted https://amanjareads.com/2020/12/04/th... The Sheriff of Babylon is a book that only Tom King could write. As far as I know King is the only CIA operative turned best selling comic book writer on the planet. He's translated some of his bleakest experiences in Iraq into The Sheriff of Leggi tutto
The Sheriff of Babylon is a brutal look at Iraq after Saddam by comic super-star Tom King, based on his real-life experiences there. It's slightly hard to write a review of it, because the story is complex enough and muddy enough that I think it requires a second read for full understanding. This isn Leggi tutto
This is another title that I've been meaning to read, or finish, for a while. I had started The Sheriff of Babylon a couple of times, reading the first few issues in the 12-issue series. But now that I got the Deluxe Edition, I made it a point of finishing the entire thing. Tom King is an incredible Leggi tutto
El Sheriff de Babilonia se ambienta en Bagdad en el año 2003, la ocupación estadounidense ha comenzado luego de la guerra de Irak, en una especie de lejano oeste en el Medio Oriente. Tom King , con guiones “ supervisados ” por la CIA, presenta una trama densa y realista, apoyado en intensos diálogos que Leggi tutto
