In "To Die A-Borning...," Starman reflects on his training under Mn'Torr while witnessing his sister Clryssa ascend to the throne as Empress—a moment that deepens his resolve and ties his destiny to a legacy far greater than he once imagined. Written by Paul Levitz and illustrated with striking precision by Steve Ditko, this issue blends intimate character moments with cosmic scale, all rendered in vivid color by Adrienne and lettered with clarity by Gaspar. The cover by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano captures the gravity of the occasion, framing a pivotal moment in Starman’s journey.
