And now, for a change of pace, an adorable, warm-hearted Enemy Ace tale for the whole family

...

YOU'RE A PUPPY!

*whew*

Von Hammer and his squad come across a burning town, destroyed by the Brits.

The English ambush them through the smokescreen of the burning town.

Hans von Hammer sharing his grim determination with a puppy = The best fucking thing you will ever see. Just tear your eyeballs out right now, you won't top this.

Von Hammer manages to destroy the war wagon, stranding the British fighters. They're forced to land and surrender.

Schizo much? "The war will kill us all. COME ON, PUPPY, WE'RE GOING ON AN ADVENTURE!!"

Von Hammer is ordered out on another mission.

Jesus fucking Christ.

Okay, Garth Ennis, Mark Millar, Warren Ellis, you can stop trying to be edgy and shocking now. Robert Kanigher killed a puppy in the 1970s, in a comic book for kids. Top that shit.

Unsurprisingly, von Hammer doesn't take it well.

...I'll be hugging my dog if anyone needs me.

THEY PICK NOW FOR A COMIC COVER NOT TO LIE? THEY HAD TO PICK NOW?

ETA: Because we all need it...

He takes a puppy with him in a small, open cockpit into a firefight and he doesn't think anything bad will happen? He's lucky the dog didn't jump out of the plane trying to get away from the loud noises the first time they went up.

I'm not sure I understand the train of thought behind "the people I fight with and now my dog have died pointless deaths; this killing is tragic, so in response I'm going to kill as many people as I can."

Then again, maybe that's the whole point. He's been so degraded by war that even when he tries to be human, he can't quite do it.
