Guerillas Omnibus

In this taut, single-issue graphic novel from Oni Press (2019), Guerillas Omnibus presents a self-contained story of a squad of Vietnam War-era soldiers who are actually highly trained, intelligent primates—a covert military experiment gone horribly right. Written and illustrated by a creative team focused on gritty, psychological warfare, the book explores the trauma of combat and the blurred lines between weapon and soldier. It matters as a bold, standalone concept that uses the war comic genre to ask unsettling questions about humanity and the cost of conflict.
