Unknown Soldier #15 (Ongoing)

is an ongoing comic book series from Vertigo, set in Uganda, written by Joshua Dysart, with art by Alberto Ponticelli. It began publication in October 2008. It is the third series run for the Unknown Soldier character, a symbol for all the nameless soldiers who have fought in all of the wars of the United States of America. It has been gaining praise, one of which comes from Garth Ennis, who incidentally wrote a four-issue mini-series with the same title also under the Vertigo imprint, featuring art by Kilian Plunkett, a much darker portrayal which the current ongoing series has followed: "...A story with teeth, unafraid to confront some horrific truths about the world we live in." It was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best New Series. Issue #15 starts part one of the three-part story arc, "Dry Season."

The series featured in the New York Times kicks off 'Dry Season,' a murder mystery in three acts. Moses tries to settle in an IDP camp in hopes of capturing some sense of his past. But a brutal murder sends him spiraling into the dark underground of the refugee population. By: Joshua Dysart, Alberto Ponticelli, Dave Johnson --
