About The Book

All new Battle Action stories from series writer Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys), who is now joined by new all-star writers and artists including Brian K. Vaughan (Saga, Y: The Last Man) and Chris Burnham (Batman).

BATTLE RETURNS - NOW WITH MORE ACTION!

The third Battle Action collection features the return of Action favourites Hook Jaw, the controversial Kids Rule O.K., and Death Game - one of the culprits behind the suspension of Action in 1976.

Joining these stories are new adventures for El Mestizo, the Civil War-era bounty hunter, on the trail of a double-agent; German Panzer commander Hellman, who discovers the hard truth behind the cause he fights for; Major Eazy, fighting alongside American paratroopers in the invasion of Sicily; Nina Petrova and the Angels of Death, as the Soviet airwoman sets out to rescue a comrade from behind enemy lines; and Dredger, the ice cold secret agent, whose origin is revealed for the first time.

Featuring an all-star roster of talent, as writers Brian K. Vaughan, Torunn Gronbekk, Dan Abnett, Rob Williams, John Wagner, Garth Ennis and Steve White team up with artists Chris Burnham, Tom Foster, PJ Holden, John McCrea, Henry Flint, Mike Dorey, Dan Cornwell, Patrick Goddard and John Higgins to bring you the latest and greatest edition of Battle Action.

Raves and Reviews

"A fabulous comic ... There is so much passion here" - Down The Tubes

"Ennis’ new series is a revisionist take on this comingling of two tonally disparate comic properties; one that takes the characters and situations found in Battle, then re-imagines them through the antagonistic, anti-establishment prism of Action ... where lurid full-color mayhem sits alongside the hollowed-out pathos earned over dozens of installments of episodic bloodletting." – The Comics Journal
