What are some good military-themed comic series?
>>
Ennis' Hitman.
>>
I will never, EVER stop fighting against spoonfeeding. It is your own damn fault if you can't find something to read. It is nobody's job but yours to do basic research.

If you're into SOF cag goon shit, read Black Powder Red Earth. It's about a group of Saudi-funded PMC assassins who go in Middle East shitholes in the name of oil. It's pretty much available to read for free if you know where to look.

Also the creators behind it are fucking based. Fuck chinks.

Garth Ennis does a ton of these. His recent A Walk Through Hell was really good.
>>
>>144652546
Yet another reason recs are a bad thing. Peddling of blatant fetish trash.
>>
>>144652571
Adding to this from Ennis:

War Stories
Dan Dare
Sara
Enemy Ace: War in Heaven
Battlefields books
Johnny Red
>>
>>144652933
This anon is lying. Literally all of those are trash.
>>
Charlie’s War
The 'Nam
It Was the War of the Trenches
Vietnam Journal
EC Comics war stories in Two Fisted Tales by Harvey Kurtzman, John Severin, Jack Davis, and
Wally Wood
Real War Stories
Sgt. Rock
Enemy Ace

>>144651372
Are you looking for comics about real conflicts like>>144652933 or >>144652992 or just any comic featuring war or a military (e.g. a sci-fi space opera series)?
>>
>>144652058

Where?

>>144653099
You could try googling it instead of being a lazy piece of shit.

Interested as well. Googling and all the usual places have failed me.

OP, have these suggestions been helpful? If not, could you give us a clearer idea of what you're looking for?

The only Garth Ennis thing I'm reading right now is Crossed. I'm loving it so far.

Sorry for being too vague with my post. I'm just looking for comics (and manga) with themes of military and guns right now with a preference for modern settings and maybe SOF stories if that helps.

It doesn't matter. "No spoonfeeding" made sense way back when the average 4chan post could be expected to represent taste, sobriety, and good faith. Those days are over.

Chuck Dixon was always good with military related stuff, did some GI Joe, some of The Nam, stuff for the US Army you can see free here

>>144662779
Also worth noting that Hama is an actual Vietnam vet so he knows what real war is like.

Here's one manga to look out for: Pineapple Army.
No complete scanlations of it yet unfortunately, the last attempt to do so was from 10 years ago and they only progressed to the first chapter of the second volume. Still, what is available to read is worth your time.

Read Spriggan too.
