The Lion & The Eagle

Set during the final months of World War II, The Lion & The Eagle (2022–present, AfterShock) follows a British soldier and a German officer thrown together in a desperate, uneasy alliance behind enemy lines. Written by Garth Ennis with art by PJ Holden, this four-issue miniseries strips away grand strategy to focus on the grim, personal cost of war and the fragile humanity that can emerge between sworn enemies. It stands as a taut, character-driven war story from a creative team known for their gritty, unflinching approach to the genre.
