The Lion & The Eagle #1
"A War on East of Suez" kicks off with a harrowing glimpse of survival and trauma, following Colonel Crosby, Havildar Singh, and Dr. Whitamore as they endure the brutal retreat through Burma during the Japanese invasion. Two years later, these survivors are thrust back into the crucible, dropped behind enemy lines in a daring mission to reclaim lost ground. Garth Ennis writes with unflinching intensity, brought to stark life by PJ Holden’s powerful art and Matt Milla’s evocative colors, while Tim Bradstreet’s cover captures the weight of war’s return.
