About Jim Starlin’s Dreadstar:
The spiraled arms of the Milky Way embrace hundreds of billions of stars, planets, and Earth—the little blue dot we call home. But humans aren’t the only inhabitants of this swirling galactic disc; it’s also given rise to a number of beautiful and terrible alien species—one of which is so dangerous, so destructive, and so inevitable that the only way to save the universe is to DESTROY THE MILKY WAY.
Vanth Dreadstar, last survivor of the Milky Way, has been tasked with safeguarding the future from the same fate that befell our galaxy. His crew, a cyborg sorcerer Syzygy Darklock, cybernetic telepath Willow, cat-like humanoid Oedi, and the freebooter Skeevo, are the universe’s unlikely protectors.

Praise for Jim Starlin:
“Dreadstar Returns is a space opera that strikes a great balance of action, humor, and big sci-fi ideas. “—The Convention Collective
“Starlin crafts a wonderfully original and engaging story in this first issue. There are so many deep and interesting layers to the story and the characters that I found myself reading it multiple times to immerse myself in this world and the complicated narrative being created within it. The character moments are filled with nuance and subtlety and I want to know more about this world, its secrets and the intricacies of the story that is unfolding.”—Super Powered Fancast
“Thankfully, the best parts of Starlin shine through in this introductory issue, with many alien concepts being grounded in a story that has subtext based on reality. Starlin’s writing evokes an older style that harkens back to his days at Marvel, when all of the cosmic grandiose had in-depth meaning, casting beyond the spectacle…Order and Outrage #1 proves that Jim Starlin is still at the top of his game.”—Comic Watch
“Jim has capably recaptured the fast-paced, clever, tale-spinning magic he has always weaved so well, the kind that made the Dreadstar line must-pulls at the LCS’s for years.”—First Comic News on Dreadstar Returns
