WARBIRD #4 (OF 4)

IT ALL ENDS HERE! Blockbuster screenwriter Derek Kolstad, creator and writer of the internationally acclaimed, box office dominating motion picture franchise JOHN WICK, New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (SUPERMAN ‘78), and Eisner Award-winning illustrator Alex Maleev (DAREDEVIL), drop the killing blow in the explosive finale to their white-knuckle, globe-spanning action/spy thrill ride. Cole has finally found Valia Petrov, Breck’s mysterious former flame and the key to completing his dead friend’s final mission. But before they can steal one of Russia’s deadly Spearhead jets, Cole is captured by General Kovalev—the man who murdered Breck and the ruthless mastermind behind Russia's next-generation aircraft program. Now Cole is trapped deep inside a Russian military stronghold with the Spearhead fleet just out of reach. And Kovalev has no intention of letting Cole leave alive.
