She’s angry, she’s in pain, and the only thing that seems to take the edge off is drugs. Jun gives us a chance to glimpse into a vet’s psyche: beaten down, haunted by her memories, and physically broken, she’s been left behind by the people she thought she went off to defend.

Set in a fictional, Hong Kong-inspired city, PTSD chooses a gritty, urban futuristic landscape to tell the story of a veteran who went off to fight a war, and came home to indifference. When she connects with a single mom running a food booth, and a fellow vet and his dog, Red, Jun begins to heal and works toward helping her fellow vets heal.

She’s mentally and physically broken, finding relief in the drugs she’s addicted to. 2019, First Second), $24.99, ISBN: 9781626723184Ī veteran home from an unpopular war, Jun is an outsider whose fate is similar to many of our own vets in the here and now.
