Desperate Housewives meets The War five years in the future.

Comedy collides head on with tragedy when a New Jersey National Guard unit is deployed indefinitely to a never-ending series of wars in the Middle East. These are citizen soldiers — kids fresh out of high school shoulder-to-shoulder with middle-aged corporate managers — and to motivate them, a modernized military has gone into full take-no-prisoners marketing mode.

Comics iconoclast Rick Veitch (SWAMP THING, CAN'T GET NO) writes and pencils a crowd-pleasing new ongoing series joined by inker Gary Erskine (THE FILTH). Army@Love chronicles the misadventures of an army that will go to any lengths to keep morale high.

Equal parts blistering battle action, sensuous soap opera and pitch black satire in the vein of PREACHER and TRANSMETROPOLITAN, Army@Love is unlike anything Veitch — or anyone else — has ever attempted. And you won't believe your eyes when you see what it takes to become a member of The Hot Zone Club!
