Books & more: Black Powder // Red Earth Vol. 7

Sometimes a comic is all you need to understand the present with imagination. Black Powder // Red Earth tells the story of Iraq after the Americans. Perhaps not entirely accurate, but exciting and sometimes prophetic. Cold Harbor is the company that fights for Arab clients in Iraq. The Islamic State, the Kurds, Iran, and Shiite militias, everything is there. Volume 7 has recently been released.

The PMCs are fully equipped. With drones for close security in the fight against invisible enemies. The comic also emphasizes presenting equipment in a very realistic way.

The picture that BPRE portrays is very realistic. With many players in the region, there are plenty of jobs for private security forces. In BPRE, they play a crucial role.

The Iranians have a tip that could help catch al Bagdadi, the Caliph. Black Powder // Red Earth is as thrilling as reality.

Darkly drawn, laconic, bloody, and political. Intelligence services, PMCs, fanatics. Red-reflective sunglasses seem to be quite trendy.
