Story

Dreadstar is the comos-spanning tale of Vanth Dreadstar, a powerful warrior and the lone survivor of the Milky Way Galaxy. Joined by his crewmates Oedi, Syzygy Darklock, Willow, and Skeevo, the team finds themselves in the middle of an ancient stalemate war between two forces of evil: The Church of Instrumentality, led by the all-powerful and misguided Lord Papal, and The Monarchy.

Thank you for the heads up. I actually bought the Dynamite omnibus for the first volume but then they cancelled my pre-order for volume 2. Looks like I missed out of the early bird offer but I wanted the slipcase anyway. I'm glad I can finally complete my collection but it is sad I have to double dip and that this wont be at the local comic book shops unless I guess they order them in.

Yeah, I managed to score the early bird but it sold out in under 12 hours.

Yeah, I managed to score the early bird but it sold out in under 12 hours.

My LCS had acquired 8 sets on preorder and they were gone in 5 minutes upon announce ... the early bird.

I tried a few stores to see if I could score a similar deal to the one on early bird in the kickstarter but there is already significant markup so I ended up getting the slipcase one for 300 directly from the kickstarter which was still cheaper than the ones offered at the stores and they didn't come with the case anyway. I was also told Dynamite is doing another collection but its prereleased material again so I gave that one a pass.
