Battle Hymn

Battle Hymn: Farewell To The Golden Age

This is a nice little story that reminded me of some superhero comics taking place during the WWII. In particular Captain America, The Golden Age and others. However this story is told with a more realistic twist, where governments don't just accept super powered people with having some kind of control over them.
 
Each of the characters here probably have a corresponding superhero from Marvel or DC, but they are not a real team, they are just a bunch of people pulled together by the government.
 
It's fun to discover what their real purpose is, maybe even shocking to some. But I really like the more mature tone of this story, which is greatly enhanced by the excellent art by Jeremy Haun. His style is perfectly suited for this tale, a realistic style for a realistic superhero story.
 
This is a quick read with a star middle and end. It's well worth the price of admission.
