The classic series returns, blasting its way into an all-new battle-scared, laser-ravaged adventure!
In a galaxy savaged by strife, torn by civil war, boiling with spilt blood, Alien Legion is a cosmic military force doing its damnedest to keep the peace by being always ready for war.
At the tip of the Legion’s multi-species spear is Force Nomad – the worst of the worst fashioned on the white-hot forge of battle into the best of the best. Now the squad’s grizzled veterans are on what should be a boring milk run; shepherding refugees fleeing a civil war ripping apart their system. Could be a good chance to to toughen the newbies of Nomad into soldiers… until straight-up peacekeeping descends into full-scale war!

PRAISE FOR ALIEN LEGION
“Alien Legion is painted on an immense canvas… The themes and characters have a lot of depth and resonance, and ultimately that’s what storytelling is about.” – Warner Brothers
“Terse, tense and compellingly action packed.” – Comics Review
“Stroman’s pencil drawings, the basis of the finished full color artwork, are wonderful. Without copying the appearance of Anime, he’s mastered the knack of designing whole pages dramatically, and readers won’t feel cheated by minimal text or detail.”
– Publishers Weekly

Rob Williams & D’Israeli | 32pp | FC | $3.99 | On-sale June 25
What if everyone woke up with superpowers – and it was the worst thing in the world?
This morning, divorced plumber Michael Fisher woke up in his crummy one-bedroom apartment in Queens, New York, to find the world had gone crazy. Everybody on planet Earth gained superpowers… apart from him. Now all he wants to do is make it into Manhattan to make sure his estranged son, Josh, is okay. But with giants, zombies and cabbies made of living galaxies thronging the streets, does the most ordinary man alive have a hope in hell?
Meanwhile, America’s leaders try to make sense of the world-changing plague, and what it means for the future of the planet. Now that every country is a superpower, Michael may be the most important man on the planet!
PRESS
“Surreal and lovely, one of the most beautiful books of the year.” – Warren Ellis
“Imagine a place where everyone has their own unique superpower, and you can tell just from looking at them what that power must be. Imagine a street full of people like that. Then imagine a world. Who else but D’Israeli could draw such a story? Now imagine it done with wit and wonder, and a talking bear, and a bloke who can magic beer out of thin air. Who else but Rob Williams could write it?”
– Garth Ennis
“Rob and D’Israeli craft an uncut diamond of a premise into a warm, witty and wonderfully illustrated gem. This is lovely comics.” – Al Ewing
“Rob Williams and D’Israeli are masters of the big picture and the tiny details.”
– Douglas Wolk, author of ‘Reading Comics: How Graphic Novels Work and What They Mean’
“Ordinary is a truly extraordinary experience from two of the greatest creators in British comics.” – Paul Cornell.
