Metal Militia

(Entity, 1995)
™ and ©1995 Hoang Nguyen

“Imagine your childhood playground was a mine field. The only night-light in your room was the glow of napalm from outside the shattered windows. This is war. And these are the memories of Hoang Nguyen, who grew up in Vietnam during the insanity that ripped our countries apart. From this mind comes Metal Militia, a powerful story of the men born from the madness of our world.”

Unfortunately, there is nothing in this title by Hoang Nguyen that is powerful or original. The lead character, Officer Callahan, is yet another physically endowed, scantily clad, sexpot cop who looks as if she is undercover for the vice squad. Like many other “bad girl” heroines, she’s fighting to reveal undefined, mysterious truths. This leads her to cross paths with Maxim, an MIA soldier who has been experimented on by an insidious, covert organization, who implanted cybernetics in his body, saving his life at the cost of his soul. It’s nothing new in a field already crowded with similar stories?
