The day-glo pop-art aspect of this strip almost feels like a cross between Liechtenstein and Steranko. It’s largely undermined by the twist ending last page, where it’s revealed that we’re watching children play a kamikaze-themed video game. I can see where Moreno was trying to set up a dissonance between the actuality of the kamikaze pilots and the fact that they’ve been turned into entertainment for children – but it really doesn’t work.
