Starjammers #1

Marvel's space-faring renegades make a striking impression on this opening issue, with the cover by Alé Garza presenting two alien heroes — a silver-skinned, pointed-eared woman armed with a pistol and a blue-clad, pointed-eared warrior thrusting a staff skyward — posed atop a massive, snarling green reptilian creature against a fiery red alien sky. The composition has real energy, conveying a crew that operates on the wilder edges of the galaxy. Writer Kevin J. Anderson kicks off "The Cadet and the Corsairs" here, promising cosmic adventure with a team that clearly doesn't play it safe.
