BATTLE ACTION

Fall in, soldier – Battle Action is back and it’s bigger and better than ever, with a brand new five-issue mini-series launching this May!

Rebellion is proud to announce that following the huge success of 2022’s Battle Action special, bestselling writer Garth Ennis returns to once again reintroduce and reinvigorate the legendary British comics combo in a new series.

He is joined by some of the greatest talents in comics – including John Wagner (Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog), Dan Abnett (Guardians of the Galaxy, Warhammer 40k), Torunn Grønbekk (Thor, Punisher: War Journal), Rob Williams (Suicide Squad, Judge Dredd), John Higgins (Watchmen, Judge Dredd) and Chris Burnham (Batman Incorporated, Unstoppable Doom Patrol) – to bring new life to even more characters from the pages of Battle Picture Weekly and Action!

The new five-issue miniseries will feature the return of fan favourite World War Two flying ace "Johnny Red" as well as the return of Battle Picture Weekly’s co-creator John Wagner to "HMS Nightshade", the series he co-created with artist Mike Western in 1979, which tells the story of a Royal Navy warship protecting Allied shipping from the U-Boat menace.

Wrapped in stunning covers by award-winning artist Keith Burns, each 32-page issue will feature two incredible stories of daring, courage, and action, such as "Crazy Keller", "D-Day Dawson", "Dredger", "Major Eazy", "Hellman of Hammer Force", and "Nina Patrova and The Angels of Death".
