Product Description

There is life on other planets. They invaded ours. Pillaging Earth for a decade. Then they vanished without explanation.

THE END WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING...

The science fiction saga that explores the aftermath of Earth's most brutal conflict starts here! For ten years the alien invaders have laid waste to our planet, but now they've vanished, leaving the surviviors with two questions--"Where did the 'bugs' go?" and "Where does humanity go from here?"

It's big existential questions, edge-of-your-seat alien-fueled intrigue, and epic thrills in this collection of the original seven installments of Resurrection! (Includes issues 1-6, plus the 2008 Annual.)

Resurrection: The Insurgent Edition collects all of the black-and-white Resurrection material in conjunction with the launch of the new full color ongoing series that's now in development as a major motion picture with Universal Studios. Created by noted writer and producer Marc Guggenheim (TV's Eli Stone, Marvel's Amazing Spider-Man) and featuring moody art from newcomers David Dumeer and Douglas Dabbs, this book picks up where all the other alien invasion stories end.

"Remember the very first alien invasion pic you saw? Me too. Remember wondering what happened after all the aliens left? Me either. Luckily, Marc Guggenheim did. Real fun and real emotion to get your sci-fi going."
-Brad Meltzer, best selling author of The Book of Lies and Justice League

"An eerily relevant twist on the alien invasion genre, Resurrection asks what happens to society after all the institutions we once relied on are torn asunder.  A very cool story, beautifully drawn.  Worth your attention."
- Brian K. Vaughan, co-creator of Y: The Last Man & Ex Machina

The Invasion May Be Over, But Mankind's Troubles Have Just Begun.....
RESURRECTION takes the standard "Alien Invasion" story we're all so familiar with, and turns it on it's head: What happens AFTER the Invasion? When the Invaders mysteriously disappear, and Humanity can safely emerge from it's hiding places, how will we exist without laws and civilization and leadership?

The series seems to take it's cues from Robert Kirkman's THE WALKING DEAD series, right down to the look of the artwork. We follow a few different groups of survivors, whose paths eventually cross, learn a few bits and pieces of information about the Aliens ("Bugs") and the Invasion, and get a few tantalizing glimpses of the post-Invasion world, but ultimately the books crawls along at a glacial pace....Some of the characters are connected in ways that are never made clear, we leave the book knowing far too little about the Bugs, and are left with more questions then there were when we started.....Granted, these questions will all be addressed within the pages of the upcoming RESURRECTION series, but Author Marc Guggenheim really didn't make me care enough about any of the questions to want to come back to this world again. The art is decent enough, but there's a kind of sameness to the faces that often makes it hard to tell who is who.

184 pages for six dollars is a steal, and I applaud Oni Press for making this book so accessible and wallet-friendly. RESURRECTION: THE INSURGENT EDITION has some great moments, and at this price, it's not going to require you to break the bank, so pick up a copy and decide for yourself.

i loved this comic.
i got the free issue of this at free comic book day and fell in love with the story. A post alien apocalypse conspiracy/survival story I'M IN!!!! bought this with its very appealing price tag of $6 and now i'm fully excited about this series. buy it. $6 come on.
