BATTLE RETURNS - NOW WITH MORE ACTION!
The third Battle Action collection features the return of Action favourites Hook Jaw, the controversial Kids Rule O.K., and Death Game - one of the culprits behind the suspension of Action in 1976.

Featuring an all-star roster of talent, as writers Brian K. Vaughan, Torunn Gronbekk, Dan Abnett, Rob Williams, John Wagner, Garth Ennis and Steve White team up with artists Chris Burnham, Tom Foster, PJ Holden, John McCrea, Henry Flint, Mike Dorey, Dan Cornwell, Patrick Goddard and John Higgins to bring you the latest and greatest edition of Battle Action.
