After finding out Aaron Carter, an innocent man, is on Death Row for a mercenary job they did 10 years ago, down-on-their-luck army veterans Sully and Ethan go on a Christmas road trip to free him. Turns out nobody’s interested in Aaron’s innocence, but someone is very interested in making sure Sully and Ethan don’t live to see the New Year. They just didn't figure on one thing: Ethan's ex-wife Cheryl. Collects the hit Panel Syndicate action/comedy series by writer ALEX DE CAMPI (DRACULA, MOTHERF\*\*KER!, NO MERCY, TWISTED ROMANCE) and artists RYAN HOWE (True War Stories, Daisy Blackwood: Pilot for Hire) and DEE CUNNIFFE (INDIGO CHILDREN, EMISSARY, Joe Fixit).

I made it through this trade, took a while. Nothing here rings true for vets. The dialogue is a mess of cliche and inauthenticity. The characters do not exhibit a second of the rough edges that they should. They are also prone to sudden changes in emotion akin to a tween age manga. The art has some merit but just doesn’t have the impact that it should. I feel like neither the artist nor the writer have ever met anyone who is an actual adult. Not recommended in any way.
I loved It. Pretty lighthearted as the label says is a comedy with a lovely duo in a pseudo millitary/marcenaries story. It filled the void that "The Fix" left.
