Star

Bursting onto the Marvel scene in 2021 courtesy of writer Jed MacKay and artist Joey Vazquez, Star is a Modern Age creation with a compact but compelling footprint across some genuinely exciting corners of the Marvel Universe. Debuting in Black Cat Annual #1, this character has since turned up in titles as varied as Infinity Watch and Avengers Annual, sharing pages with the likes of Ripley Ryan, Quantum, and Phil Coulson — a roster that signals real stakes and a place at the table of contemporary Marvel storytelling. With only 16 catalog appearances so far, Star remains a discovery waiting to happen — the kind of character whose relative scarcity makes every issue feel like a find for the sharp-eyed collector tuning in at the ground floor.
