☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together issues #8-14 of the 2010 R.E.B.E.L.S. series, continuing the story of Vril Dox and his ragtag team of cosmic outlaws as they navigate the political turmoil of the Vega system. The 'Strange Companions' arc introduces new allies and enemies, deepening the conflict with the Starro the Conqueror and the Psions, while testing the loyalty of Dox's crew. Written by Tony Bedard with art by Claude St. Aubin and Andy Clarke, this volume is a key chapter in the post-Blackest Night era of DC's space opera.
In "No Way Out," the R.E.B.E.L.S. face a desperate stand as Starro's forces tighten their grip across trapped worlds, including the Dominator homeworld. With alliances shifting and the Gil'dishpans caught between enemy factions, Dox and his team must flee a burning methane ocean after the Dominator Fleet Admiral makes a brutal tactical choice to contain the invasion. Written by Tony Bedard and illustrated by Andy Clarke, with coloring by José Villarrubia and lettering by swands, the cover by Andy Clarke captures the chaos of a planet on fire.
In "No Way Out," Dox and his allies face a desperate stand as Starro's forces tighten their grip on the Gil'dishpan homeworld, now allied with the Dominator Fleet Admiral. With the shield around Maltus trapping entire worlds and no help forthcoming, they must survive a brutal assault and a shocking act of desperation—the burning of the methane oceans—to stop the invasion from spreading.
In "Stealth," Vril Dox leads his team to the distant planet Vrool, searching for lost connections amid the ruins of a forgotten civilization. As the Khunds battle Starro’s relentless advance, the Omega Men seek aid from the enigmatic Psions in a desperate bid to reclaim the Dominator homeworld.
In "Strange Companions," Vril Dox teams up with Adam Strange, Captain Comet, and Kanjar Ro to outmaneuver the Starro homeworld’s defenses, but as their plan unfolds, Strata, Garv, and Lyrl take matters into their own hands—only to stumble straight into the deadly path of Starro’s High Vanguard.
In "Chapter II: Daughter of Storms," Astrild Storm-Daughter faces the devastating cost of defending her home planet, Varidian, from Starro the Conqueror—her desperate attempt to harness her people’s lifeforce ending in tragedy. Broken by loss and overwhelmed by Starro’s might, she makes a choice that redefines her path, surrendering to a power far greater than her own.
In "Chapter IV: Scourge of the Stars," Starro the Conqueror arrives on a battlefield where the general Smite is locked in a stalemate with the Sodality of Virtue. With cunning and overwhelming force, Starro turns the tide by forcing Smite to fight alongside his enemies—then proves his might so utterly that even their united strength bows to him, earning Smite’s reluctant allegiance.
In "Chapter V: The Star Conqueror," the tale unfolds of how a Starro motherstar once seized the planet Hatorei, only to be thwarted by the collective psychic bond of its people. Through their unity, young Cobi resisted the new motherstar’s control, ultimately fusing with it and rising as the legendary Starro the Conqueror.
