Star-Lord #4

This issue's cover is a pure delight, styled as a vintage boxing-event poster — complete with dramatic sunburst rays and red-and-gold tones — pitting "The Pipsqueak" against "The Pirate" in a one-night-only showdown. Two figures face off in classic fight-promo portraits, fists raised and expressions fierce, while the deadpan fine print promises the bout "live on Pay-Per-View, in High Definition Across All Visible Spectra of Light and Three of the Invisible Ones." Sam Humphries and Javier Garrón's 2016 run continues to prove that Star-Lord's solo adventures have a sense of humor as sharp as any blaster.
