Intense stuff - I especially like the panel where Von Hammer is reciting the poem to Stefan. It's rare to see him in an attitude other than rage or torment - he looks almost like a concerned parent there. Nice to see him in a gentler moment. (Also, I like the poem.) I have to say, though, those first few panels just make me chuckle. I mean, a pilot dressed in a skeleton costume is TOWING A GIANT BALLOON WITH A SKULL PICTURE ON IT BEHIND HIS PLANE, and the young pilots are using it for target practice, preumably going 'wheeeee!' as they do so. Ah, comics. Don't ever change.
