'World War II rages in the Pacific as the enemy thrust attempts to regain control of the Huon Peninsula … Amongst the day and night battles with roadblocks, intense skirmishes and moving sweeps of enemy soldiers, word spreads of a Digger who wears a leather mask, whose forearms bear the Australian Southern Cross, and who fights like nothing they’ve ever seen. He is “The Soldier”. The Soldier is born twice over in the pages of this first issue: within the jungle of New Guinea in the 1940s and in 2011 in the streets of suburban Brisbane. Both from different events, but both follow the one promise: to keep lives safe.'

'The Soldier finds himself on a personal mission to free a captured POW from execution by a brutal and maniacal Japanese 20th Division Lieutenant, an Executioner who believes he is a Samurai warrior. Things become complicated when The Soldier chooses to also rescue a Japanese soldier branded a traitor by his own army. But does he really want to be rescued from the Samurai’s blade? Meanwhile, the Soldier’s grandson begins his war on suburban street gangs with a passive stakeout operation. He takes some incriminating pictures of a night time stolen goods trade and passes the pics off anonymously to the local police. But when the trade goes bad and an innocent person gets in the line of fire, can the young Soldier stay quietly on the sideline?'

'The adventure continues as the Executioner’s commandos move through the jungle hunting The Soldier, the “Fuzzy Wuzzies” aiding the Aussie diggers and Keiji, the Japanese soldier branded a traitor. But is Keiji really betraying his country or merely standing up to his own beliefs against a power-crazy mad man? And does The Soldier really trust a man meant to be his enemy? Meanwhile, the quiet suburbs are about to get a whole lot louder as the gang war begins to erupt and new players are brought in with the young Soldier and the innocent woman stuck in the middle! Featuring amphibious tanks! Enemy Commandos! Juggalos and… wait!… a Nazi?!'
