If you have a Kindle, Amazon is offering Echelon Software’s “Black Powder Red Earth” issue Vol 2 free of charge (*for Amazon Prime members). No idea how long this deal is going to last so we suggest you take advantage sooner rather than later. Written by the collaborative team of Jon Chang (Author), Kane Smith (Author), Josh Taylor (Illustrator), BPRE is a graphic novel unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Meticulously researched, it creates a near-future filled with intrigue and corporations and regional actors relying on hired guns who cut their teeth in the Second Gulf War. Described by some as “Blackhawk Down meets Syriana” the action begins to really pick up in Vol 2.
