Fury : Peacemaker

This is the collected edition of the six comics by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. With those two creators you know that nothing is held back. I've never really been a fan of the Sgt. Fury comics but this re-telling of his origin/history is really really good. There's no Howling Commandos in this book, just Fury and a small band of international soldiers.
The story first takes place in North Africa where Fury's entire group is killed by German soldiers, leaving Fury alone to survive. He runs across a small group of British soldiers who are fighting their own war against the Germans. Fighting "a war without the army". Eventually they win their battle in Africa and head back to the European theater and are put on a mission to take down a German Field Marshall. Not wanting to give away the ending but it does also explain Fury's distinctive eye patch.
This book is filled with gore and body parts flying everywhere, exactly what I look for in a combat comic. All the covers for the individual issues are included in here as well and feature some really great artwork by some very talented artists. I highly suggest this book as it's one of the best I've read in a while.
