Cosmic Guard #2

In "The Beginning," Ray Torres awakens to a startling truth: he’s been chosen by "The Legacy" to become the Cosmic Guard for his sector, armed with powers to face the Genociders. After fleeing the St. James Orphanage—where he discovers the supervisors are murdering children for their organs—Ray is guided by the mysterious Dark Paladin. When he finally acts to save an orphan, his intervention ends in a brutal fall from the building’s roof. Written and illustrated by Jim Starlin, with cover art by Starlin, this pivotal issue blends cosmic destiny with raw human stakes, all rendered in Starlin’s signature style and June Chung’s vivid colors.
