GARTH ENNIS BATTLEFIELDS FIREFLY #2 (OF 3)
Stiles and his crew are going Tiger-hunting, which is all very well so long as your intended prey has no idea you’re coming. But the last days of the Third Reich prove to be a savage time, and as British and Waffen SS tanks stalk each other through the wretched gloom of the German winter, tragedy is never far away.

@ed I’ve liked this tank run better than the last.
I love it.
This was awesome; Funny, pognant and the weird Ennis realism.
@edward – YOUR CRAZY!! This has been great!
Another 5 star issue IMO. I love that after the brits killed the child’s mother, he still chose to treat them with respect by using "Sie" instead of "Du". I remember reading a letter column in one of the battlefield books where a fan had said something along the lines of: Ennis…you have to be using an online translator for your german! Ennis admitted he had, but would be fixing that in the future. So Tankies #4 comes out and we get english instead of german w/ translations. Hey … getting there!
Anyone not reading "Battefields" is doing themselves a huge disservice. Ennis proves time and time again what a great writer he can be with this series. He gets to be silly and gross-out on things like "The Boys" and "Crossed", and there are some elements of that here, it’s never gratuitous. Great stories, great dialogue, and often a poignancy not found in comics. Any of the Tankies stories are entertaining as hell to read – you can just hear the accents as the crew members haze one another. Highly recommended.
