Alien Legion Omnibus, Vol. 2

4/5 ( ratings)

The Alien Legion is the most feared fighting force in the Galarchy -- and Nomad Squad is the best, and the worst, of the lot. Comprised of the outcasts, dregs, and idealists from three galaxies, the expendable grunts of Nomad jump into a series of intense missions prompted by everything from attacks by biomechanical religious zealots, orders to eliminate a traitorous legion hero, and the personal whims of a Galarchy bureaucrat. The squad is devastated when three veteran legionnaires die -- and another faces an even worse fate in a legion "Mindrobber" machine. Nomad's chemistry is further altered with the addition of Tamara, a cosmic valkyrie who catches Lt. Montroc's attention.

Long live the Legion! The longest-running creator-owned series in Marvel Comics' 1980s Epic Comics line, Alien Legion set the bar for military science-fiction in comics. Featuring work by Alan Zelenetz, Larry Stroman, Frank Cirocco, Randy Emberlin, and Terry Austin, Alien Legion Omnibus Volume 2 features over three hundred story pages and rounds out the first Alien Legion series, including the long-out-of-print A Grey Day to Die graphic novel.
