By John Freeman on June 17, 2022

Blazing Battle Action is the next Comic Archive available from Hibernia Comics, and will officially go on sale next week.

For those going to Enniskillen this weekend, for one of the signing events for the new Battle Action Special curated by Garth Ennis, advance copies will be available, so it’s getting its launch in illustrious company!

Featuring a history of Action Force comics by David McDonald, and David Bishop’s history of Battle, which was originally published in the Judge Dredd Megazine, this new Archive offers a look at Storm Force, and Rebellion’s reincarnated Battle.
