Trudeau is the third and last volume of Trudeau’s “Wounded Warrior” graphic novel series. This one focuses on one of B.D.’s brigade friends in Iraq. Leo, who is known by his nickname - Toggle, is into music and just has a knack for creating mixes for other people. He provides iPod mixes for almost everyone in his brigade. Unfortunately, Specialist Toggle was driving when his vehicle was blown up by a VBIED (Very Bad IED). Toggle suffered a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). B.D. travels to visit Toggle at Walter Reed Medical Center near Washington DC and learns that Toggle suffers from aphasia, which affects his speech. He can think clearly, but has trouble expressing his thoughts in a coherent manner. Toggle’s long and arduous recovery is helped by his girlfriend, who is the daughter of one of B.D.’s old friends. Trudeau includes more humor in this story, but certainly does not belittle the frustrating recovery that Toggle must endure. Together with “The Long Road Home” and “The War Within”, this volume caps an amazing graphic-novel series that realistically portrays the pain and suffering, and the heroic struggles toward recovery, endured by wounded soldiers. I highly recommend all three of these graphic novels to any adult. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Signature Wound: Rocking TBI completes a trilogy of Doonesbury books that examines the impact of combat on American soldiers in Iraq. A twist of fate brings B. D. to the bedside of SFC Leo Deluca (a.k.a. Toggle), a young HUMV driver and headbanger whose love of ear-bleed battle music had sonically distracted him enough to get his vehicle blown up. Missing an eye and suffering from aphasia, Toggle fights to recover from traumatic brain injury (TBI), a journey of recovery that brings out the best in B. D., his former commander. Toggle's tattooed, metalhead mom initially has reservations about his improbable Facebook romance with an MIT tech-head named Alex, but love blooms. As this engaging story unfolds, Toggle finds himself drawn toward a career in the recording industry, undaunted by the limitations of the New Normal that now defines his life. Crafted with the same kind of insight, humor, and respect that prompted the Pentagon and the VA to host signings of the two previous books in the trilogy, Signature Wound is a perceptive and timely look at the contemporary soldier's experience.
