A NEW SCIENCE FICTION EPIC FROM THE MIND OF STAN LEE!
From the mind of legendary comics creator Stan Lee, the architect of the
Marvel Universe, comes Alliances: Orphans, a brand-new original graphic
novel set in the New York Times best-selling Alliances universe,
co-written by Lee with Luke Lieberman (Red Sonja) and Ryan Silbert (The
Coldest Case). This cosmic adventure features fully painted artwork by
Bill Sienkiewicz, who handles the prologue and cover, and Szymon
Kudranski.
Orphans blasts readers into the heart of our galaxy alongside William
Ackerson, a man lost in space on a quest to find the source of his
uncanny abilities. As gravity waves ripple across reality, warping time
and space, he meets the Orphans. They are each the last of their kind,
all their kin having been wiped outby the alien Hive: Little Boy, their
giant childlike leader; Haze, a caustic creature of pure vapor; Rascal,
a self-loathing zealot with dark secrets; and Critter, a being that's
equal parts monster and puppy.
This ragtag group find themselves in over their heads when their
space-heist is hijacked. They have a stowaway with her own agenda:
Samsi, the fearsome survivor of a civilization that once ruled the
galaxy.
Orphans is a fast-paced, intergalactic treasure hunt that explodes the
Alliances universe into the cosmos. It introduces an extraordinary band
of lone survivors, that must become a family to save the very fabric of
reality.
