“The Quest”

In "The Quest," Jim Starlin returns to the cosmic sprawl of Dreadstar with a story that plunges the titular warrior into a harrowing moral crucible. When the Lord High Papal unleashes a devastating purge on the city of Chichano, killing 15 million in a bid to draw out Dreadstar and Syzygy—now unwitting pawns in a high-stakes heist—what begins as a mission of survival spirals into something far darker. With Starlin handling every aspect of the interior art and inks, and Glynis Wein’s colors lending the galaxy its signature grim grandeur, this is a bold, visually arresting entry in the series, all rendered under Starlin’s distinctive, signature cover by himself.
