The Heroic Life and Death of Saint Joan of Arc At age 18, Joan led the French armies into battle. She was a peasant girl who couldn’t even read, let alone fight a war. To save France from the English, she was going to need divine intervention. The heavens answered her. Joan received aid from Saint Michael the Archangel, supreme commander of the heavenly armies. With his help, Joan led the French to victory on the battlefield, paving the way to the end of the Hundred Years’ War. This two issue series follows Joan’s encounters with the Archangel, exploring her brief military campaigns in France, ending in her capture, trial and heroic martyrdom. COLLECTING: The Mission of Joan of Arc #1-2 by Philip Kosloski, Alexandre Nascimento and Jesse Hansen. Age – 10 (contains some mild comic violence)
