4-6EOD Soldiers series.
Illustrated by
Carlos Furuzono
&
Dijjo Lima.
In these two graphic novels, an explosive ordinance disposal specialist tries to keep him/herself and fellow soldiers alive in war-torn Afghanistan. The panel illustrations are effective at displaying the action and emotions experienced by the characters. However, the initially compelling stories both end rather abruptly; readers glean only a brief look into each main character's motivations without much, if any, resolution. Glos. Review covers the following EOD Soldiers titles: Go Slow and The List.
