(W/A) Jim Starlin. by Jim Starlin What has young Ray Torres gotten himself into? Just last night* he was minding his own business* planning to jump off of the roof of the orphanage where he lives... and now he's got the voice of a dead super-hero from a distant planet - a hero called the "Dark Paladin" - in his head! This Dark Paladin says he's charged with the responsibility of preparing Ray to become the next Cosmic Guardian* sworn to protect the galaxy from the Genociders* an evil space-armada whose sole purpose is the destruction of the universe! Ray isn't sure he even believes any of this* but if he hopes to save his fellow orphans from a black market organ-stealing scheme* he may have to start! Cardstock cover by Starlin. FC* 32pg
