R.E.B.E.L.S: STARSTRUCK TRADE PAPERBACK
Following the defeat of Starro the Conqueror, Vril Dox plans to expand his client base by distinguishing himself from the motives of the Guardians of the Universe. However Starro the Conqueror returns using Lobo’s life-energy to empower his symbiote to procreate. Starro finds out the Psions have been secretly cloning Czarians and plans to use them as his own personal army. After capturing Dox, Starro uses his control-stars to seize the Planet Rann.
