Alien Conspiracy series Letter 44 returns with a Compendium this July
New York Times bestselling writer Charles Soule and superstar artist Alberto Jiménez Alburquerque present their cult classic series Letter 44 in a newly remastered edition from Image Comics. The Letter 44 Compendium paperback will collect the complete series—with reworked interior pages and featuring a new cover—and will be available in July. The series was first published by Oni Press beginning in 2013 and running 35 issues wrapping up in 2017. In 2014 it was announced the series was being developed for television.
This provocative series first launched nearly a decade ago and garnered a dedicated fandom. Letter 44 introduces readers to the newly-elected president Stephen Blades, who, on his first day in office, reads the letter left for him in the Oval Office desk by the outgoing president. It alerts him to a harrowing secret kept hidden from the world. Seven years ago, NASA discovered an alien presence in the asteroid belt and sent a stealth mission crewed by nine astronauts to make contact. The aliens’ intentions are unclear, but ominous. President Blades has just become the most powerful man on the planet… at the worst possible time.
Mixing provocative political intrigue with high-stakes sci-fi action, Letter 44 is a gripping and complex look at leadership in the face of uncertainty. This is the perfect read for fans of The Department of Truth and The X-Files.
Letter 44 Compendium paperback (ISBN: 9781534334106, Lunar Code 0425IM461) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, June 18 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Bookshop, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, July 1.
