I get the appeal, but I'm not really hot on the Earth War stuff. Same applies to the followup run, despite my username here deriving from it (as a kid I read the Perry novelizations and dug them [I hadn't yet read the comics at that point], hence going with "Nightmare Asylum" for a name here, but my overall enjoyment of those stories in both their original Newt/Hicks comic form and Billie/Wilks novel form has waned over the years. NA's comic art is pretty rad, though).
