Vanth Dreadstar, last survivor of the Milky Way, is desperately trying to save the galaxy he now calls home from two warring empires. Vanth already saw one galaxy annihilated; can he prevent the same fate from befalling this one? His crew, a cyborg sorcerer Syzygy Darklock, cybernetic telepath Willow, cat-like humanoid Oedi, and the freebooter Skeevo, must keep these two power-mad superpowers from tearing the galaxy in two. But their efforts are being sabotaged from within! How can they hope to beat a foe who knows their every move before they make it? From the mind of comics icon Jim Starlin (Infinity Gauntlet, Captain Marvel, Warlock), creator of Thanos, Drax, Gamora, and many more, comes an eon-spanning space fantasy remastered and collected from the very beginning in this, the second of three definitive tomes! This volume collects Dreadstar #9-#24, and the short story Messiah.
