Lucas faces a harrowing test of duty and brotherhood when his younger brother, Danny, arrives as a replacement soldier—just days after learning of their mother’s death. With emotional weight pressing hard, Lucas must keep his unit sharp and focused, even as he struggles to shield Danny from the truth. When Danny is wounded in a fierce ambush, Lucas makes a desperate call to save him, stepping into the line of fire with no thought for his own survival.

Sol Brodsky’s intense cover art perfectly mirrors the issue’s emotional and physical stakes.
In "Grenade Burst," Sgt. Stone and a fellow soldier hold their ground at a remote outpost when a sudden Chinese assault threatens to overwhelm them. With quick thinking and a steady hand, they unleash a devastating barrage of hand grenades, turning the tide in a brutal, close-quarters firefight.
In the tense aftermath of a brutal engagement, Sgt. Lucas—known for his unyielding discipline and sharp instincts—faces a personal trial when his younger brother Danny arrives among the new replacements. Though the weight of his mother’s recent death presses on him, Pappy can’t bring himself to tell Danny the truth. When Danny is wounded, Lucas makes a desperate call: order his men to evacuate their comrade while he stays behind to hold off the advancing enemy, knowing full well the odds are stacked against him.
In "Spit and Polish!", a young lieutenant’s strict insistence on cleanliness becomes a quiet testament to discipline and courage in the midst of war. Though his men initially mock his meticulous standards, they come to honor his fearless leadership when he leads them into a deadly charge—dying as he lived, with dignity and precision.
