FLASH GORDON THE GIRL FROM INFINITY VOL. 2

Sci fi and fantasy merge in this girl-power reimagining of Flash Gordon! Focusing on teamwork, adventures, cute critters, heroes, monsters, and the journey of leadership! The continuing adventures of Flash Gordon, Savior of the Universe! She fell from a shooting star with no memory and only the faintest clues about where she came from, or why she'd been sent to this part of the world. But that didn't stop Flash Gordon from leaping into action when her friend Dale Arden needed help. Now they're both embroiled in a planetary war! The evil Emperor Azimuth wants to rule the alien world of Omnia -- and a strange shadow power seems to be helping him. Flash fought alongside a rebel army to depose him -- but they failed. Now Flash and Dale are on the run, the Emperor's sister is under lock and key, and Omnia is in chaos. And the Emperor knows something about Flash's origins...something even Flash doesn't know... The next exhilarating installment in this gorgeous sci-fi fantasy reimagining of FLASH GORDON by NYT-bestseller Marguerite Bennett and illustrator Bev Johnson.
