Star, an exciting addition to Marvel Comics‘ legendary lineup of superheroes, will have its own limited edition in January. Announced at the NYCC retail panel, the star of CAPTAIN MARVEL‘s pages will be the star of her own adventure, written by CAPTAIN MARVEL’s writer and Star creator, Kelly Thompson! Star made her first appearance last July in CAPTAIN MARVEL # 8 and the mystery surrounding her identity, combined with an astonishing conception of Carmen Carnero‘s characters, seduced readers to find out who she was!
“Star’s excitement was a lot of fun to watch,” says Thompson. “And there’s still a big surprise in CAPTAIN MARVEL # 11 later this month … and that’s the kind of surprise that requires a mini-series like this to explore the mysteries that ‘surround, its importance and potential in the great Marvel. Universe.”
“The entire CAPTAIN MARVEL team loved the character from the beginning, but the reaction of the fan and the retailer was overwhelming. We are very grateful and excited to push it even further in the spotlight, “said editor Sarah Brunstad. “We had such good times developing it and waiting for its big moment, and I’m glad Carmen is staying with the character to cover the miniseries.”
The series will focus on the ambitious journalist Ryan Ripley, one of the victims caught up in the apocalyptic stratagems of Nuclear Man, who will later become the STAR hero adored by all. But in reality, it was Dr. Minerva‘s attempt to create a kree-human super-soldier. Desperate for the power and strength to control her own destiny, she tried to kill Captain Marvel – and failed. Ripley was left, defeated and helpless in the raft. But something strange has happened and Star is now more powerful than ever. And no one in the Marvel universe is prepared for what that means.
