"A new Marvel villainess rises to the top in STAR #1, out this Wednesday from Marvel. Originally introduced in Captain Marvel’s series, Star is getting her own miniseries – which means a lot of bedlam and machinations are about to ensue.

Fans of Captain Marvel will surely recognize the name Star. She was a character (villain, really) introduced in her latest series – and she pushed Captain Marvel’s limits and boundaries in ways that we’ve never seen before.

For her part, Star wasn’t always a villain. Her name is Ripley Ryan, and she used to be a reporter – one who genuinely enjoyed her job. Then one day she was sent to interview Captain Marvel for Ms. Magazine. And that’s the day that everything changed for her.

Long story short, her entire worldview was blown apart thanks to one macho jerk of a villain. And the rest, as they say, is history. Well, perhaps not so much. This miniseries is enough to prove that Star’s story is far from over.

Star #1 brings us back to the villainess that caught our attention with her unique design and brutal plans. Now she’s beaten, but far from broken. Her first issue in this series is full of cameos, and thus not something you’re going to want to miss out on."
