Sara
Fight hard. Shoot straight. Don't let them take you alive.
From bestselling writer Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Punisher, The Boys) and Steve Epting (Velvet, Captain America) comes a harrowing tale inspired by a true story.
In the second terrible winter of the siege of Leningrad, seven women snipers find themselves caught up in the struggle against the German invaders.
Their deadliest shot is Sara, whose inner demons may yet prove her undoing - but with the enemy to their front and the agents of the Soviet state lurking in the shadows, how long can any squad survive the terrifying maelstrom of war?

Terrific art and storyline! This is my third copy.
Ever been gut-punched in the best possible way? If not, then read this.
Sara has consumed my life. I thought it was a hyperfixation when I first read it in 2021. Turns out it's a special interest. Even 3 years on, I still have a physical emotional reaction to it.
It features Sara and the six other members of her unit, with badass action scenes interspersed with emotional moments and an ending that threw me for a loop- again, in the best possible way. The chemistry in the unit is very believable, especially between Sara and 'Rina. The comic doesn't shy away from depicting moral grayness in its protagonists, either - one of the unit tortures Nazis for information, while Sara herself traps enemy corpses with grenades.
I borrowed this graphic novel from my father, and I've just ordered my own copy.
I'm torn between going to everyone and going "JUST READ IT" and keeping it to myself.
So. Read it or don't read it, it's your choice, but the only reason I'd regret reading this is because of the way it has consumed my daydreams.
If you like graphic novels about WW2, especially from the Russian side's POV, get this.
