Story/Spoilers
In issue #1, “Honor”, A force of men is assembled, so massive it shakes the earth with its march – an army, vast beyond imagining, poised to devour tiny Greece, to snuff out the world’s one hope for reason and justice. Only three hundred brave souls block its dash. But they are more than men… they are Spartans.

Next in issue #2, “Duty”, The word is out: Sparta is on the march. From farms and hamlets rally brave Greeks – to face hellish war in the narrow mountain pass called The Hot Gates. The odds are long, and the stakes are high: All hope for human freedom hangs in the balance!

Next in issue #3, “Glory”, Dread Xerxes marshals all the armies of Asia against a tiny, plucky force of 300 Spartans – and makes one last offer for peace. But peace means surrender. With stabbing spear and slashing sword, the Spartans respond. Their message is a simple one: These free men will not be slaves. There is no middle ground, no compromise to be had, between good and evil.

Next in issue #4, “Combat”, Combat. Grueling, hateful, joyous slaughter. The Spartans do what they were born and bred to do: they fight, brother beside brother, shoulder to shoulder, shield against shield, their bristling spears driving back the slaves of the tyrant Xerxes till the dead are piled high as a mountain and the sacred, rocky soil of Greece is drenched deep in Persian blood.

Finally in issue #5, “Victory”, Betrayed, surrounded, outnumbered a hundred thousand to one, the Spartans make their last stand against the hordes of Xerxes. All hope is surely lost: only bloody death awaits them. Why, then, that wild, joyous light in the eyes of King Leonidas? What secret has he that makes him smile and speak so confidently of victory?
