Kyle Baker @ Comic-Con

By: Rich Watson

Baker said that his intent with “Special Forces” was to skew the current war in Iraq, pointing out how stupid and absurd all wars ultimately are, but that he also wanted to create the “war comedy” of our generation and our current wars. “I wanted to do a Joseph Heller type of thing,” Baker said. “Every generation has its ‘war comedy’ — ‘Catch-22,’ ‘Dr. Strangelove,’ ‘M.A.S.H.’ — but we don’t really have one for this war yet.”
