Operation: Knightstrike #3

In Operation: Knightstrike #3 (1995), the Knightstrike team finds themselves deep in enemy territory when they're captured by Russian forces in Afghanistan—only to discover their mission has a personal twist: the pilot they're sent to rescue is Bloodstrike’s brother, Battlestone. Written by Brian Witten and illustrated by Richard Horie, with inks by Jaime Mendoza and colors by Gloria Vasquez and Extreme Color, the issue tightens the stakes with a revelation that reshapes the mission’s purpose. The cover, by Chap Yaep and Danny Miki, captures the tension of the moment with sharp, striking detail.
