Brand new Commando issues 5339 - 5342 are out soon. You might not be able to get them in shops still, but you can definitely still get them ordered online direct from DC Thomson. 

You don't need to leave your house to get issues, as you can get global action and adventure delivered right to your door when you subscribe to Commando: https://www.dcthomsonshop.co.uk/com10

There's also the option to subscribe for digital copies here, with their 12-month subscription being an absolute bargain: https://www.commandocomics.com/digital-subscription/. DC Thomson have a great deal on at the moment, where for £49.99 you can get Commando Comics for a whole year, with the option to knock a further 30% off that with the discount code DCTEXTRA. That's four issues a fortnight for a year. Even without the extra discount, we think that's a pretty exceptional deal.

5339: Home of Heroes: Siege of Musa Dagh 
Story | R Tate | Art | Manuel Benet | Cover | Manuel Benet

All eyes watched the First World War raged on, but in the background, there were disturbing rumours of a humanitarian crisis in the midst of the Ottoman Empire. Secret Service agent Aaron Hassan thinks he can chalk it up to a day’s work, but the barrel of a Gewehr 98 and the woman behind it soon change his mind! In a frantic escape across Aleppo, Aaron tries to get Suzanna, Karine and the intelligence he carries to Musa Dagh, but he doesn’t recon on assassin, Omar Konevi! With a story by new writer R Tate and art from Commando veteran Manuel Benet!

5340: Gold Collection: Death Flies Fast 
Story | Powell | Art | Gordon C Livingstone | Cover | Ken Barr | Originally Commando No. 184 (1965).

Classic Commando alert with Gordon C Livingstone interior art and a Ken Barr cover! On the ground or in the air, Powell’s heroes were a pair of fighting fools. On civvy street, Mike Tulley and Terry Stark were bitter rivals for the middleweight boxing title. Then, in wartime, as Spitfire pilots they were never done trying to outfly and outfight each other — whether or not they died in the attempt.
