Footsloggers and soldiers of fortune, priests, poets, killers, and cads-they fight for a future Galarchy, for cash, for a cause, for the thrill of adventure.

Sometimes peacekeepers, sometimes shock troops, the Legion is sent into the Galarchy's most desperate inter NAl and exter NAl conflicts.

ALIEN LEGION OMNIBUS TP #2

(W) Alan Zelenetz (A) Frank Cirocco (CA) Frank Cirocco

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 elimi NAte a traitorous legion hero, and the perso NAl whims of a Galarchy bureaucrat. The squad is devastated when three veteran legion NAires 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. 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.

(CURR PTG)

(W) Chris Warner (A) Allen Nunis (CA) NA

(W) John Arcudi (A) Richard Corben (CA) Richard Corben

Living with the Alien has become a fact of life-and death-as mankind expands throughout the galaxy.

Dark Horse Comics' critically acclaimed Aliens series set the bar for how the universe of a popular film could be expanded through graphic fiction. Aliens Omnibus Volume 5 collects more of these comics classics, featuring over 350 story pages in full color by some of the finest creators in graphic fiction. •  Collects Aliens: Alchemy #1-3, Aliens: Kid NApped TPB, Aliens: Cargo one-shot, Aliens: Survival #1-3, "Aliens: Alien" (DHC #17-19), Aliens: Earth Angel one-shot, "Aliens: Incubation" (DHP #101-102), Aliens: Havoc #1-2, Aliens: Lovesick one-shot, "Aliens: Lucky" (Decade of Dark Horse TPB)
