Sara is a Graphic Novel written by Garth Ennis (also creator of Preacher) with art by Steve Epting and colors by Elizabeth Breitweiser. Set after the German invasion of Russia in the Second World War, it tells the story of a team of Russian female snipers fighting in the brutal Eastern Front.
Although I had first gotten interested in this title because of Garth Ennis, what really caught my attention here is the amazing art and the on point colors. Not that the plot is bad, not at all, but it isn't also something too far from the typical war story.
With just 147 pages Ennis does a good job presenting Sara's character, her background, motivations and a bit of the day to day of a sniper in that time.
It's a good read for those who like WWII comics.
