In an Iraq of the near future, as America's presence becomes more and more entrenched, elements of American culture have started to seep into the urban landscape of Baghdad. In the green zone, a coffee shop, ubiquitous in the United States, opens up, declaring itself a beacon of change. The proprietor, portraying an image of the American 1950's caters to a clientele of expatriate contractors, intelligence operatives, and an emerging clique of modern Iraqi youth who are looking beyond Iraq for cultural cues from the world at large. Maybe they just like the chocolate malts. Today, the door is locked, and the proprietor, the mysterious Mr. Fifty, is holding interviews for a very special job position: International Terrorist.

~From Tim Demeter of Graphic Smash-- "BHI takes place in a near future, but in one that seems a little too plausible, making for a tomorrow that could not be more relevant to today. Couple this with fantastic craftsmanship, and hints of the war comics of days gone by and you've really got yourself something."
