Marvel Milestones: Star Brand & Quasar #[nn]

When mechanic Ken Connell stumbles upon an alien crash site during a dirt bike ride, an enigmatic old man marks him with a mysterious tattoo and entrusts him with the Star Brand—a power meant to protect something far greater than himself. With help from friends like Myron and Debbie Duck, Ken struggles to understand his new abilities, only to face a relentless alien threat who believes the Star Brand was meant for him.

In "The Price of Power!", SHIELD recruit Wendell Vaughn finds himself at the center of a high-stakes experiment when he’s assigned to guard the Quantum Bands—once worn by Marvel Boy—under the watchful eye of Nick Fury. When a deadly test claim’s the life of pilot William Wesley, Wendell is thrust into the spotlight after instinctively donning the bands to stop an AIM assault, discovering he’s immune to their lethal energy. Now, with the fate of the power in his hands and SHIELD offering him a new role, Wendell must decide what it truly means to wield such a dangerous gift.
