Alien Legion to blast onto big screen!
Alien Legion was a comic ahead of its time. The original mini-series was published back in the mid-80′s by Epic Comics and while not a big smash in sales, it was critically acclaimed. Over the years there have been a couple of series based off the original, each of them a good read. And yes, I still have my original set stored away.
Description from Wikipedia:
Alien Legion was an early Epic Comics title about the members of a military unit called Force Nomad, composed of the “dregs of the universe” and similar to the French Foreign Legion. The cast includes leader Sarigar, whose lower half is serpentine, fully humanoid Torie Montroc, and probably the most popular character, Jugger Grimrod, a Thraxian.
In 2010 we will see a resurgence of Legion activity, including a recently released Alien Legion Omnibus Volume 1
Of course, corresponding to my post about 2012, I can only presume that the tag line for the film will be “Alien Legion: Solar System Destroyers!”
