Jim Starlin is returning with his own brand-new series –
the Cosmic Guard from Devil’s Due and Dynamite Entertainment!
A
young orphan is chosen by a mysterious light from space
to become the latest in a long line of cosmic guardians,
super-powered defenders who are charged with protecting
the galaxy.
Ray
Torres is literally teetering on the edge of suicide --
planning to leap from the roof of the orphanage where he
lives -- when a shooting star changes his life forever by
choosing him to join a long line of space superheroes called
the Cosmic Guard.
“Working
with Nick [Barrucci], and the DF team on releasing Dreadstar
had been really smooth sailing,” said Starlin. “And
when I originally was planning this new series, I talked
with Nick about it, and he wanted to have me create a DF
Exclusive cover. I was impressed with his standards and
ability to promote projects, asked his advice. He helped
set-up the project with Devil’s Due and Dynamite!
The Guard is very close to me, and I wouldn’t trust
it to just anyone.”
“The
chance to work with Jim on The Definitive Dreadstar Collection,
was, I thought, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,”
said Nick Barrucci, President of Dynamic Forces. “The
chance to work with him on a new Starlin creation! Mind-blowing!
I was more than happy to help Jim find a home with Josh
and the Crew at Devil’s Due through Dynamite Entertainment!”
Along
with Starlin and DF, publisher Devil’s Due is on board
for the new series, through the Dynamite Entertainment imprint;
retailers and fans can look for ordering information within
their section of the June Preview catalog (issue #6; look
for the interview with Starlin featuring additional, unseen
art!) as well as at the Dynamite Entertainment website (www.dynamiteentertainment.com).
This
first issue of this brand-new series by the legendary creator,
Dynamite Entertainment and Devil’s Due is being offered
with a regular and an enhanced cover!
