Here's to hoping the next one is better, with something resembling a plot in the first half of the book. Read another banger Weird War Tales comic, this time issue 12. I don't have them all. In this issue we get...God of Vengeance. Ancient Egypt vs Persia. Hassup is a cruel bastard who tries to ravage then does murder a priestess of Anubis in a temple of Anubis. He goes to war with the Persians and wins only to be lost in the desert die to a sandstorm. He falls into a pit and is buried up to his neck in sand. Then Anubis’ jackals come for him. Hand of Hell. WW2, Egypt. German troops near the Temple of Anubis. I’m sensing a theme. The Germans kill a few captured US soldiers and the priestess of Anubis. Bad move guys. Rommel leads the Germans against the US and they fight a tank battle. Rommel has to fall back and the statue of Anubis is hit, collapsing on the tank driven by the guy who killed the priestess. The Warrior and the Witch Doctors. Ancient Romans vs Britons. Before a battle a Roman scout is captured by the druids at Stonehenge. He’s sacrificed to the “Great Druid Gods” and sent into the future…to 1970s Times Square. He’s mistaken for an actor and stumbles into a theater and sees a film about the battle he was about to fight in. He thinks the film is a portent and takes that info back in time to his commander. They prepare for a big fight but it’s only a few old people in the village. So they wrote a glowing message to Rome talking up the non-existent battle…which is the basis for the movie. Kinda a lame let down, honestly.</blockquote>
