The Unknown Soldier #1-13 (Ongoing) Update

is an ongoing comic book series from Vertigo, set in Uganda, written by Joshua Dysart, with art by Alberto Ponticelli. It began publication in October 2008. It is the third series run for the Unknown Soldier character, a symbol for all the nameless soldiers who have fought in all of the wars of the United States of America. It has been gaining praise, one of which comes from Garth Ennis, who incidentally wrote a four-issue mini-series with the same title also under the Vertigo imprint, featuring art by Kilian Plunkett, a much darker portrayal which the current ongoing series has followed: "...A story with teeth, unafraid to confront some horrific truths about the world we live in." It was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best New Series.

Beginning a 2-issue arc that will introduce American audiences to the work of Democratic Republic of Congo artist Pat Masioni. Accompanied by a former child soldier, the Unknown Soldier begins a journey across the most intensive expanse of the war zone Moses has experienced yet. But what's on the other side for these two? Redemption for their killings - or damnation? --
