The long-awaited sequel to the beloved film!

Small town teenager Alex Rogan has already saved multiple worlds. But that was only the beginning of his story. Forty years after the cult-classic movie that pioneered CGI and inspired generations of fans, an all-new story picks up from the end credits and takes off for the stars! Now the leader…and sole member…of the Star League, Alex must rebuild the galaxy’s only defense force against Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada.

Introducing a new cast of Starfighters alongside fan-favorite faces—and new killers and cutthroats in the shadowy employ of the Ko-Dan—The Last Starfighter #1 launches a sci-fi legacy to new heights!

In collaboration with filmmakers Jonathan Betuel and Paul Davidson, the dynamic writing team of Benjamin Raab and Deric A. Hughes (Syfy's WAREHOUSE 13, The CW's ARROW, NBC’s QUANTUM LEAP & more) join forces with artist Willi Roberts (Witchblade; The Thing on the Doorstep) and colorist Francesco Segala (Dawnrunner; Nights) for a thrilling and heartfelt journey through a newly expanded universe!
