Note - this is a spoiler-free advance review of all four issues of Tet. The first issue will be released under IDW's Comics Experience imprint on Wednesday, September 9.
Hard-boiled crime fiction and gritty war dramas are two genres you'll find plenty of in the comic book medium. Tet, a new creator-owned series from writer Paul Allor and artist Paul Tucker, blends both of those genres together, with a dash of romance thrown in for good measure. The resulting mix is a surprisingly effective noir tale, one that will appeal especially to fans of Garth Ennis' moody, introspective war comics.
Tet is framed around a murder mystery, focusing on the unlikely partnership between a Marine named Eugene Smith and a South Vietnamese police officer named Nguyen Bao. The two are tasked to solve the unexplained murder of an American soldier, a mission that becomes drastically more complicated as the city is ravaged by the Tet Offensive. Coloring the conflict is Eugene's engagement to a Vietnamese girl named Ha. Needless to say, Eugene has plenty to lose as the bombs start falling and the North Vietnamese army comes storming in.
