By Michael Westerman and Xerx Javier. It is the latter half of the twentieth century. A single decision made in the winter of 1943 altered the path of the Second World War. Rather than attack Russia and incur defeat, the Blitzkrieg was created. Only the heavily fortified city of Moscow withstood the Aryan onslaught, within which an opposition has arisen to the Nazis, dubbed "The Resistance." It consists of a network of individual guerrilla warfare units, each with members of 'unique' abilities. In this issue, the Serpent Slayers, the elite task-force of the Resistance, will violently discuss their ideology of war with a squad of uninvited guests at their base within the outskirts of Moscow. 24 pages, B&W. Mature Readers. Cover price $3.50.
