“Dead and Buried”

"Dead and Buried" kicks off Alien Legion #1 with a haunting mission from the past: two years after the tragic loss of Nomad Squadron on Quaal, Major Sarigar walks away from the military, driven by a need to uncover the truth behind the doomed operation. Written by Chuck Dixon, Carl Potts, and Alan Zelenetz, and brought to life by Larry Stroman’s art and Randy Emberlin’s inks, the issue sets a grim, determined tone as Sarigar begins his personal quest for answers. The cover by Larry Stroman and Frank Cirocco captures the weight of that journey in stark, evocative detail.
