Alien Legion: One Planet at a Time #2

The middle chapter of this three-part Heavy Hitters miniseries arrives with a cover by John Rheaume that pulls no punches — a heavily armored soldier finds himself practically swallowed by a press of snarling, golden-hued alien figures, weapons raised in a tense, close-quarters standoff. Rheaume's inking gives the 1993 artwork a dense, tactile intensity that suits the Alien Legion universe's gritty, multi-species tone perfectly. If *One Planet at a Time* has your attention, Book 2 keeps the pressure on.
