Garth Ennis and PJ Holden Deliver New Tank Combat Story

World of Tanks: Citadel

Eisner Award-winning comics legend Garth Ennis (Preacher, Punisher) and artist PJ Holden (Warhammer Monthly, Johnny Woo, 2000AD) once again take command for a new action-packed miniseries inspired by Wargaming’s massively popular online game World of Tanks.

World of Tanks: Citadel from US publisher Dark Horse serves as a prequel to the previous Roll Out miniseries. Set before D-Day, World of Tanks: Citadel follows two opposing tank crews – one German, one Soviet – as they fight for survival in the Battle of Kursk during World War Two. The German tankers, led by tank commander Kraft, find themselves deep behind enemy lines and cut off from the rest of their unit. Meanwhile, the Russian tank crew finds themselves at odds with the war and with each other as they embark on a dangerous and uncertain mission.

Last year, World of Tanks won its online game developer and publisher Wargaming.net its third Golden Joystick award, gaining the most votes in the “Still Playing” category.

Wargaming is and one of the leaders in the free-to-play MMO market. Founded as a privately held company in 1998, Wargaming has shipped more than 15 titles. Currently, Wargaming is focused on its team-based MMO war series dedicated to the mid-20th century warfare that includes the armoured World of Tanks, the flight combat World of Warplanes, and the naval World of Warships. The three intertwined titles form a common gaming universe integrated within the portal www.wargaming.net.

Their most recent release is the Wargaming Mobile game World of Warships Blitz, launched last month on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
