Uber Volume 1

So Im reading Uber and I'm thinking Downfall meets Dragonball Z. Thats the only fucking way to discribe this book. Basicly its the closing days of the war and Russia are kicking the Germans as as the enter Berlin. Hell even some of the Nazie soldiers are turning tale. In one moment when one such poor soul trys to surrender to a Russian Tank we get to meet the ubermensch who all have battle ship code names and rightly fucking so. They lay waste to an entire tank devision and dont break a sweat. Basiclly the germans have perfected the superman and are now turning the tide much to the worry of the Allies.
The source of the power is a red stone which when exposed to certain humans enhances them mentally and psychically. The Allies do get some samples of their own thanks to sexy English spie and trys to make its own super men in a very Captain America like set up.

kieron Gillen's script is top notch and riddle with black humor with some savagely gore filled moments that while should shock you make you actully laugh at how over the fucking top they are. Cannan Whites art work is really nice and sharp.

This book is a wicked take on world war two and totally destroys the romance of the like of the Captain America books but in a strange way also pays homage to them. Uber while is very very gore'y you cant take it too serous and it not as graphic in other aspects which Avatar books are.


Uber earns a solid 9/10
