David Axe

La guerra es una droga. El protagonista de esta novela gráfica creció fascinado por las escenas bélicas de los noticiarios vespertinos. Se hizo periodista de una ciudad pequeña y un buen día decidió dejarlo todo e irse a Irak como reportero. War Fix: adicto a la guerra, es la historia real del reportero de guerra David Axe, narrada por él mismo y dibujada por Steve Olexa. El guión es ante todo una confesión del autor, de su obsesión con la violencia, de su necesidad de sentir bullir la adrenalina en su interior. Un guión ya de por sí sorprendente que se hace aún más impactante gracias a las vivas ilustraciones y a las variadas texturas que utiliza Olexa en la composición.

Joseph Kony is the most dangerous guerilla leader in modern African history. It started with a visit from spirits. In 1991, Kony claimed that spiritual beings had come to him with instructions: he was to lead his group of rebels, the Lords Resistance Army, in a series of brutal raids against ordinary Ugandan civilians. Decades later, Kony has sown chaos throughout Central Africa, kidnapping and terrorizing countless innocents -- especially children. Yet despite an enormous global outcry, the Kony 2012 movement, and an international military intervention, the carnage has continued. Drawn from on-the-ground reporting by war correspondent David Axe and starkly illustrated by Tim Hamilton, Army of God is the first-ever graphic account of the global phenomenon surrounding Kony -- from the devastation he has left behind to the long campaign to defeat him for good.

Read David Axes blogs and other content on the Penguin Community.The war memoir as graphic novel-an utterly unforgettable and highly original look at war in the 21st century. Street battles with spears and arrows in sweltering East Timor. Bone- jarring artillery duels in Afghanistans mountains. Long patrols on the sandy wastes of southern Iraq. For four years, war was life for David Axe. He was alternately bored out of his mind and completely terrified. It was strangely addictive. As a correspondent for The Washington Times, C-SPAN and BBC Radio, Axe flew from conflict to conflict, reveling in death, danger, and destruction abroad while, back in D.C., his apartment gathered dust, his plants died, and his relationships withered. War reporting was physically, emotionally, and financially draining-and disillusioning. Loosely based on the web comic of the same name, with extensive new material, War Is Boring takes us to Lebanon and Somalia; to arms bazaars across the United States; to Detroit, as David tries to reconnect with his family-and to Chad, as David attempts to bring attention to the Darfur genocide.Watch a Video
