Starlin himself is also generating some heat—his original graphic novel for Marvel, Thanos: Infinity Relativity, was the number 1 dollar-generating graphic novel in the direct market in June (see “Top 300 Graphic Novels-Actual—June 2015”). Starlin excels at creating epic space operas like Dreadstar, and it appears that his sort of cosmic narratives are coming back in fashion in both the comic book and movie/TV realms. As The Hollywood Reporter points out, Starlin created Drax the Destroyer and Gamora, two characters that definitely made a big impression in last summer’s surprise smash hit space opera, Guardians of the Galaxy.

Comic-Con News: Saying that “I’m at a point financially where I can do whatever I want… and this is what I want to do,” Jim Starlin announced that he was writing and drawing a new Dreadstar miniseries. Starlin created the science fiction epic Dreadstar for Marvel’s creator-owned Epic Comics imprint in 1982, before taking it to First Comics where it finished its initial run with issue #54 in 1991. This saga of the last survivor of our Milky Way Galaxy was just optioned for TV in February, which should make the new Dreadstar comic book miniseries a hot commodity if the project does make it to the small screen (see “Dreadstar Heads to TV”).
