Reporter David Axe and artist Steven Olexa offer a more personal take on the war in their graphic memoir War Fix, which examines why journalists are compelled to report on combat. (The conceit echoes that of Sacco's 1995 collection, War Junkie.) War Fix follows Axe as he makes six trips to Iraq in 2005 and 2006, risking his job, girlfriend, and safety in search of the visceral rush of danger. The result is a curious comic book in which not much happens, but at a furious pace. Like Sacco, Axe has an excellent eye for detail: In one scene, soldiers laugh at his bargain body armor, explaining how easily it could kill him. But he never truly addresses the question at the heart of his book. Axe is reflective enough to offer moments like this one, in which he offers a conflicted prayer on the eve of his first trip to Iraq, but not self-aware enough to figure out why he really craves such risks.
