yes he was evil. he is the commanding officer of the regiment alec and jerry are sent to. he is a tough man who is determined to 'make soldiers' out of the men sent to him. the major is a very strict, harsh person. even when the soldiers deserve praise after their hard work in the trenches, he does not give it. he dislikes jerry and this is evident when Jerry asks for compassionate leave but decides not to give it to him. he also got Alec to command the firing squad on his best friend jerry which shows he does not care about other peoples feelings and shows no emotion.

Is Babylon AD a comick book?

Yes


Is Babylon a current city ie Rome or is Babylon a person in the Book of Revelation?

Some say that the references to Babylon were really references to Rome. Since the authorities would have considered it treason to refer in this way to Rome, it was safer to use the name of Babylon, while Christians would have privately known what was meant. Another view is that when the Book says Babylon, it means Babylon. This view sees the Book of Revelations as consisting of two layers: a more ancient, spiritual layer that was merged into a Christian book with messages to the early churches. On this view, the more ancient layer could have been from Judaic mysticism, or from a form of proto-Christianity.

Why were the babylonians important?

That would depend on your context. In the Old Testament Babylon was the empire which overthrew the Nation of Judah. This was a punishment for Judah turning from God's commands and worshiping idols. You can search the name Babylon on BibleGateway.com or BlueLetterBible.com to find out more. Off the top of my head the nation of Babylon is a major character in the books of Jeremiah, Lamentations, the later parts of 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles, and the setting of the book of Daniel. In the New Testament book of Revelation (a.k.a. Apocalypse of John) Babylon is used to symbolize a nation or power that opposes God's work.
