FIND YOURSELF ANOTHER BATTLE

The last stories featuring the heroes of the Battlefields series, by writer Garth Ennis and artists Russ Braun and Carlos Ezquerra. In the dying days of the Second World War, a fiery crash leaves Russian fighter pilot Anna Kharkova badly wounded and exiled from her own people. Anna begins an odyssey that will take her from the killing skies of the Cold War to the horrific Soviet punishment camps, her doubts about the cause she fought for growing all the while. But at the top of the world, high above the freezing Arctic Ocean, the former Night Witch finds she has one last card to play, in The Fall and Rise of Anna Kharkova.

April, 1951: as massed Chinese armies descend on UN forces defending South Korea, a British infantry brigade digs in amidst the hills of the Imjin River sector. With them are the Centurion tanks of the 8th King’s Royal Irish Hussars, including tough WW2 veteran Sergeant Stiles. But Stiles is a man haunted by the horrors of his past, and when the Communist offensive smashes into the tiny British force, he must battle his own demons along with the enemy hordes. The story of the Tankies reaches its violent conclusion, in The Green Fields Beyond.

The War That Tore The World Apart.

Three tales of lost innocence, tragedy and suspense set during the Second World War, by writer Garth Ennis and artists Russ Braun, Peter Snejbjerg and Carlos Ezquerra.

As the German army smashes deep into Soviet Russia and the defenders of the Motherland retreat in disarray, a new bomber squadron arrives at a Russian forward airbase. Its crews will risk fiery death on lethal night missions against the invader- but for these pilots, the consequences of capture will be even worse. For the crews of the 599th NIght Bomber Regiment are women. In the deadly skies of the Eastern front, they will become a legend- known, to friend and foe alike, as The Night Witches.

1942: in the tropical splendour of the South China Sea, as war spreads across the far east, a young woman finds herself in paradise- and then in hell. Nurse Carrie Sutton is caught up in the Japanese invasion of Singapore, suffering horrors beyond her worst imaginings. Now she attempts to start her life anew, buoyed up by a growing friendship with a young pilot- and, incredibly, a chance for revenge. But even victory can be a hollow prize, as Carrie discovers to her cost- in Dear Billy.

After D-Day came the battle for Normandy, when untried Allied soldiers met the seasoned veterans of the German Army. As Panzer units and SS troops turn the French countryside into a killing ground, a lone British tank crew struggles to rejoin their squadron. Lost behind enemy lines, their only hope lies in their veteran commander, Corporal Stiles- but can even this wily old trooper lead The Tankies to victory against Germany’s fearsome Tiger tank?

“His [artist Russ Braun] character designs are varied and human, and each player has his or her own look. He handles action and character interaction equally well, and seems to have a particular talent for drawing emotion through a character’s eyes.”– Blog@newsarama.com

“None of the emotion is faked, all of the dialogue is absolutely fantastic, and the letter written to Billy is perfectly executed.” – iFanboy.com

“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: no one in comics does World War II better than Garth Ennis…” – ComicsWaitingRoom.com

“War is clearly a back and forth exchange of escalation, and Ennis shows that escalation can become a matter of emotion and brutality, not being restricted to weapons technology and tactics.” – WeeklyComicBookReview.com
