Genre: World war 2 / Fantasy / Magic.
Lost squad's premise is pretty interesting. It is 1942 and the Nazi war machine is in full flow around Europe. However in this version of history the Nazi's are using various mystical and magical means to gain a edge. Into this steps the Lost squad, a somewhat clichéd bunch of characters who go around foiling the evil Nazi plans.
This trade paper back contains 3 stories. The art in all 3 stories is black and white and is very good. The writing for the 3 stories is serviceable, with the first 2 stories being the best of the bunch. The character development in the book follows a predictable path there are no surprises. The storyline hints at a more complex back story for a few characters, however those hints are not expanded upon. All 3 stories are very average and it seems like the author is using magic to shore up insipid plot lines.
The final story comes through as a rushed attempt to have some sort of ending for this series. However because of all the unresolved hints from the previous stories, it feels very unsatisfactory.
All in all the book showed promise, but the writing in this book leaves the promises unfulfilled.
Rating: 2.5 / 5; Average, don't bother.
