Writer/artist Edward Laroche offers a lot of elements in this opening issue that appeal to me as a reader. A realistic representation of a military operation, cynicism, flawed characters and artwork that blends an interesting mix of realism and style. That being said, I didn’t enjoy this story because Laroche essentially leaves out the most important element: that being an actual story. Everything about the first chapter of The Warning is designed to be mysterious, secretive, and on that level, it succeeds, but too well. The script is so nebulous, so drenched in vagueness, that by the end of the issue, I’d lost interest in the approaching conflict and the critical actions of the intense characters.
