Silver Star is the story of Morgan Miller, the first bio-engineered superhuman. Tasked with finding the “Others,” Silver Star put together a rag-tag family of powerful individuals in a newly post-superhuman world. Thirty years ago the king of comics, Jack Kirby, created, wrote, and drew the adventures of “homo-geneticus” and what an all-powerful superhuman meant to war, society, and death. This story is the continuing adventures of the most powerful man on the planet and what he’s been up to for thirty years. He’s been busy! The story starts out with Silver Star fending off a giant monster attack in the Pacific Ocean, and his superhuman girlfriend Norma Richmond walking out on him. From there the story spirals into an international conspiracy of power players in governments and religions and science trying to take over the world. Silver Star has to do battle with a superpowered group of “animus-geneticus” called the Iron Grid. These bio-engineered animals lead to a bigger battle with the godlike Firewielders! Silver Star gets blasted into an alternate universe where everyone has superpowers, and finally returns to Earth when his most trusted ally is turned against him. Can Silver Star save the world and save his humanity in the process?
