'Released November 2012, we ramp up towards the final act of the current story!

How will ‘The Soldier’ continue his mission if he’s suppose to surrender? Meanwhile the Soldier’s Grandson, facing a street full of rioting Car Gang Members and Juggalos, tries to gain the courage to step up to the chaos he’s partly to blame for. Does his instructor Barry have the answer? Featuring Keiji, Leonard the New Guinea Scout, and the deadly arrival of an almost forgotten foe…Man!'

'The jungle ignites in this explosive chapter, as The Soldier finds himself in a showdown with enemy forces and their Amphibious Tank! Can The Soldier survive against an impossible destructive machine, or will he meet his downfall, not from the barrage of Tank ammunition, but from his own war-torn sanity? What part will Leonard the native Scout, Keiji, the Japanese soldier branded a “traitor” by his own forces, and the Nazi SS Officer play in The Soldier mission? Meanwhile, one Brisbane suburban street is about to erupt, as the Soldier’s grandson is about to discover he may be in over his head. Has following his Grandfather’s legacy been the right decision, or will the emerging gangs prove him wrong? Can he pull himself together? Will the gang leader’s girlfriend, the young ‘Soldier’s Instructor, and a slightly delusional “Superhero” wannabe, prove to be worthy allies, or will he be betrayed? Be prepared for the most action-packed issue yet!'

1 y separately published work icon A Mind of Love Bruce Mutard , Bruce Mutard (illustrator), Melbourne : Black House Comics , 2011 9490887 2011 single work graphic novel

'What does a man think when he looks at a beautiful woman?

'Why does he resort to consuming pornography?

'Why does the sex-industry seem as recession-proof as alcohol, drugs, taxation, death, fighting and gambling?

'A Mind of Love explores some of these questions and poses some answers as it follows Brian, an adult book store clerk’s distant obsession with a waitress, Nancy. Then one day this distance collapses through a series of incidents in which his self-described ‘love’ for her, causes him to become involved in her tumultuous life and suffer the consequences. A Mind of Love is an exploration of how modern men have harnessed technology to gratify their lust at the expense of their humanity.'

'The Soldier finds himself on a personal mission to free a captured POW from execution by a brutal and maniacal Japanese 20th Division Lieutenant, an Executioner who believes he is a Samurai warrior. Things become complicated when The Soldier chooses to also rescue a Japanese soldier branded a traitor by his own army. But does he really want to be rescued from the Samurai’s blade? Meanwhile, the Soldier’s grandson begins his war on suburban street gangs with a passive stakeout operation. He takes some incriminating pictures of a night time stolen goods trade and passes the pics off anonymously to the local police. But when the trade goes bad and an innocent person gets in the line of fire, can the young Soldier stay quietly on the sideline?'

'World War II rages in the Pacific as the enemy thrust attempts to regain control of the Huon Peninsula … Amongst the day and night battles with roadblocks, intense skirmishes and moving sweeps of enemy soldiers, word spreads of a Digger who wears a leather mask, whose forearms bear the Australian Southern Cross, and who fights like nothing they’ve ever seen. He is “The Soldier”. The Soldier is born twice over in the pages of this first issue: within the jungle of New Guinea in the 1940s and in 2011 in the streets of suburban Brisbane. Both from different events, but both follow the one promise: to keep lives safe.'

Before long, McBlack finds himself tangling with cyborg biker hippies, Irish paramilitary cannibals, redneck triads, illegal arms dealers, crooked cops, and a former pro-wrestler turned monster truck dealer. But will all of that be enough to hold McBlack's attention, and if not... well, what happens then?'
