**** (out of five)

War in the desert in unquestionably hot, but never as scorching as in Army@Love.
In the not-so-distant future, the U.S. war in the Middle East rages on without end and to keep soldiers willing to come back for more, the military implements the new Motivation and Morale department to make things more interesting.
The result is cell phones in combat; wild, orgy-filled furloughs; more women in combat (to heighten the sexual tension) and rewards for creating hot new ideas like the “Hot Zone Club” where two soldiers have sex while under enemy fire.
Ready to enlist, yet?
Created by Rick Veitch (Swamp Thing, Can’t Get No) and illustrated by Gary Erskine (The Filth), Army@Love is a biting satire, filled with both laughs and gasps.
