![]() ![]() The early issues of Star Brand (#1-7) are by Jim Shooter and they're quite good, even by modern standards. This often makes it feel less "real" than its brethren.) The White Event isn't mentioned, though it would eventually become core to the idea of Star Brand and curiously the issues aren't dated in real time like in the rest of the New Universe. ![]() (Despite hewing so close to the New Universe's central premise of changed normalcy, Star Brand doesn't touch upon other core ideas of the New Universe. It's obvious that this was intended as the next evolution of the Marvel style that originated in the '60s, telling the super stories of normal people. He doesn't know what to do with his powers (in the big picture) or even how to use them (in the small picture). But he's kind of a dick toward her (and toward women in general). He has a beautiful girlfriend, who has kids of her own. And Star Brand really epitomizes that idea, with Ken Connell being aggressively normal. The New Universe was meant to be the universe outside our front door, where super powers are suddenly introduced on July 22, 1986. ![]()
