☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection gathers the early chapters of Colleen Doran's epic science fantasy series, originally serialized in the 1980s. It introduces a sprawling cosmic conflict involving human and alien characters, blending intricate political intrigue with lush, detailed artwork. The volume represents the foundational story arc of Doran's long-running independent saga.
"Immigrant Song" kicks off A Distant Soil #1 with a tense, emotionally charged escape as Liana and Jason flee the Institute, only for Jason to be wounded by pursuing agents. Left behind, Liana encounters Brent and Minetti, who are soon cornered by Siovansin guards—only to be rescued by Reiken and D'Mer, who urge the pair to join their cause. Meanwhile, Jason is captured and taken aboard the Siovansin, where he’s drugged and used as bait to lure Liana. Colleen Doran’s striking art and storytelling, with full creative control over pencils, inks, and colors alongside Lee Moyer, Julie Ann Sczesny, Jane Fancher, and letterers Bob Pinaha and Gaspar Saladino, sets a vivid, immersive tone. The cover by Doran and Moyer captures the story’s urgency and mystery.
