Review by Darren: Garth Ennis' 303 TPB

Writer: Garth Ennis
Artist: Jacen Burrows
Publisher: Avatar Press (March 21, 2007)
Price: $19.99 (Softcover)
Format: TPB
Includes: 303 #1-6

A team of Russian mercenaries hunt for the downed wreckage of an American Plane in the hills of Afghanistan with a British contingent of mercenaries after the same goal.

In the aftermath of the destruction of both teams, a Russian Colonel, the lone survivor, is cursed with darkest of secrets and a thirst for revenge that takes him to the heartland of America.

He will not stop until his 303 rifle is satisfied.

This is the best thing that GARTH ENNIS has ever written. Tightly paced with a prescient narration, the hands off attitude of AVATAR comics has allowed ENNIS to take his story to whatever dark corner he chooses.

And, boy, is it dark.
