President Blades has just become the most powerful man on the planet. This planet. Newly-elected president Stephen Blades hoped to tackle the most critical issues facing the nation: war, the economy, and a failing health care system. But in a letter penned by the outgoing president, Blades learns the truth that redefines "critical": seven years ago, NASA discovered an alien presence in the asteroid belt and kept it a secret from the world. A stealth mission crewed by nine astronauts was sent to make contact, and they're getting close-assuming they survive the long journey to reach their destination. With the weight of the world on his shoulders, President Blades must decide if Earth is ready to learn that we are not alone, or if this information will spark World War III. Read the complete series, collected in one compendium for the first time ever! This massive edition features all thirty-fove issues from renowned writer Charles Soule (Daredevil, She-Hulk) and acclaimed artist Alberto Jimenez Alburquerque (Mystery Girl, The Amazing Spider-Man).
