The Light Brigade

From 2005 onward, DC’s The Light Brigade is a single-issue comic that reimagines World War II as a supernatural conflict, written by Peter J. Tomasi with art by Peter Snejbjerg. The story follows a squad of soldiers who discover that their battle against the Axis powers is intertwined with an ancient, otherworldly war between angels and demons. This compact, standalone tale stands out for blending war drama with cosmic horror, offering a unique, atmospheric take on the superhero genre’s capacity for mythic storytelling.
