Rebels

Set during the American Revolution, Dark Horse's Rebels (2015–2016) is a gritty, character-driven war comic that follows a family of New England patriots through the brutal realities of the fight for independence. Writer Brian Wood, with artists Andrea Mutti, Ariela Kristantina, and Matthew Woodson, shifts focus from iconic heroes to the everyday soldiers and civilians whose lives were forever changed by the conflict. This ten-issue series stands out for its unflinching look at the personal costs of revolution, grounding the era's ideals in mud, blood, and human endurance.
