5861 Falken – Russian Roulette 

Major Heinz Falken is playing a dangerous game of chance. His life and those of his men hang in the balance as they fight for survival. The battle on the Eastern Front between German and Russian armies has become a war of attrition, with both sides lacking resources. When their supplies are hijacked by the Russians, Falken is forced to recover them by systematically searching Soviet stronghold bunkers. But guessing which one is the right bunker is like playing a game of Russian roulette – and they’re running out of bullets.
    Warlord’s Kampfgruppe Falken returns once again to stick to the Russians and the Germans alike! Dominic Teague’s razor-sharp dialogue pairs perfectly with Manuel Benet’s interior artwork and cover – this one’s a safe bet!

5862 When Time Runs Out

The Dutch Resistance had no room for traitors. Yet, with every day that passed, someone in their midst was giving information to the enemy. Who was he, and how did he operate if the group seemed so united? 
They were soon to find out. Time was running out for that man, and in a very peculiar way indeed...  
    They say time flies when you’re having fun, so reading this issue should take no time at all! Another timeless classic with a story by CG Walker and interior artwork by Carrion – and watch out for that Ian Kennedy cover!
