Written by Joshua DysartArt by Alberto Ponticelli
This issue is tied with Northlanders as the best book I've read this week.
Moses has set his plans into effect, orchestrating an attack on a group of rebels and getting the army involved in such a way as to achieve his goals with a minimum of risk, and decides to free his captive.
While in town, he is spotted and recognized, which leads to a rather suspiciously coincidental run-in with the CIA guy that was searching for him, which leads him to a group of pan-African activists, who want Moses's help in a plan that is so crazy, it would have to work. Meanwhile, Sera is dealing with having to accepts Moses's absence.
This title is highly intelligent, and as it diverges from actual Ugandan history, becomes increasingly well-thought out and planned. I love how Dysart attempts to portray many sides and facets of the conflict in Uganda, without ever becoming preachy or 'teacher-y'. He simply allows the story to unfold at its own pace. This is a fantastic title.
