Vaughan, Chris Burnham, Keith Burns, Rob Williams, John Higgins, Torunn Grønbekk, John Wagner, Dan Abnett, Steve White, Henry Flint, John McCrea, Tom Foster, PJ Holden, Dan Cornwell, Mike Dorey and Patrick Goddard!
BATTLE ACTION VOLUME THREE - ISSUE ONE
Blazing Battle Action on each page! Garth Ennis and Keith Burns reunite for a 10-issue maxi-series which tells the final story of Johnny Red, aerial ace! Johnny Redburn’s battle against the German Luftwaffe continues into the final year of the Second World War - but Johnny’s long war has taken a toll on him, and his bravery now edges towards recklessness. Will he make through the last months of the war?
Then! In a guest feature, writer Brian K. Vaughan makes his Battle Action debut, joined by artist Chris Burnham for a shocking post-apocalyptic fable! In a hostile future London where Kids Rule, a young American boy runs for his life from a mob of xenophobic British Punks - but he has a secret weapon they aren’t expecting.
BATTLE ACTION VOLUME THREE - ISSUE TWO
Garth Ennis and Keith Burns’ final Johnny Red story continues, as Johnny reunites with the pilot who got him kicked out of the RAF at the very beginning of his aviation career. Now a high-ranking officer, he requests Johnny’s help on a dangerous mission, and failure will irrevocably determine the war’s outcome, and foreshadow how wars are fought throughout the 20th century. This issue also features John Wagner and Dan Cornwell returning for another adventure featuring the crew of the HMS Nightshade, as Nightshade must protect a convoy from overwhelming Axis forces, but at what cost to themselves?
BATTLE ACTION VOLUME THREE - ISSUE THREE
In Johnny Red: A Couple of Heroes part 3, Johnny Red must pilot the Flying Gun over the Arctic Ocean on a mission to stop the development of a strain of cholera as a weapon of mass murder.
But with the conclusion of the war seemingly inevitable, Johnny cannot help but think about his missing partner, Nina Petrova, and what he needs to do to be reunited with her. Garth Ennis and Keith Burns ramp up the stakes in this final Johnny Red story.
And in the bonus feature, the star of Action: Hook Jaw, the great white shark, is fucking back!
Brought to you by Steve White and John McCrea, Hook Jaw must face off against a Killer Whale, as a nature documentary team and a group of shark conservationists get between them. Who will make it out alive?
