The Other Side
Written by Jason Aaron. Art by Cameron Stewart.
Two young soldiers enter the Vietnam War from opposing sides.
Overview
Aaron and Stewart follow an American draftee and a Vietnamese soldier toward the same conflict. The five-issue series began in 2006, before its 2007 collected edition.
Why It Matters
Parallel viewpoints deny either soldier exclusive ownership of the war. Their fear and disorientation make combat feel personal and unstable.
Genre & Themes
Historical war fiction becomes a psychological survival story shaped by ideology and memory.
Art & Visual Identity
Stewart moves between grounded military scenes and hallucination, making each soldier’s inner state visible.
