REVIEW: Savage Squad 6 Issue 3

Savage Squad 6 takes place in 2037 and society in in disarray. Everything has come to a halt. An army called “The Scourge” has been in control. The pockets of civilization that do remain have been hunted by the Scourge. All men of fighting age have been killed and the Scourge believe these remaining communities are no longer a threat.

Issue three continues as the Squad works their way to a reactor to retrieve bomb fuel as part of their mission. Nothing is easy for the squad. There is danger lurking on every corner. The story continues in Pripyat, Northern Ukraine next to a reactor that has been dormant for years, yet any living thing exposed to the radiation has seen significant changes over the years. As they make their way to the reactor, the squad experiences things they never thought was possible.

No one is safe in the Savage Squad 6 story, and you find that out very quickly. By the time we reach issue three things have significantly changed for the team. The art by Dalts is great, especially the action scenes which is pretty much the entire issue. Robert and Brockton waste no time in this issue. It is jammed pack with action from start to finish.

Savage Squad 6 is a recommended reading, especially if you love heavy action and fighting.
