The Cult Classic is Back and The Star League Rises Again in July in The Last Starfighter!

Posted on by

More than 40 years later, Mad Cave Studios brings The Last Starfighter back with a long-awaited continuation of the cult classic. The 1984 sci-fi adventure film, directed by Nick Castle and written by Jonathan Betuel, expanded the boundaries of visual effects and became a defining touchstone for a generation raised on arcades and imagination.

In collaboration with Betuel and producer Paul Davidson, writers Benjamin Raab and Deric A. Hughes join forces with artist Willi Roberts, colorist Francesco Segala, and Ashcan Award-winning letterer Rob Jones, with covers for The Last Starfighter #1 by Taurin Clarke, Rahzzah, David LaFuente, and Stephanie Hans, for a thrilling and heartfelt journey through a newly expanded universe.

Small-town teenager Alex Rogan has already saved multiple worlds. But that was only the beginning of his story. Forty years after the cult-classic movie that pioneered CGI and inspired generations of fans, an all-new story picks up from the end credits and takes off for the stars! Now the leader…and sole member…of the Star League, Alex must rebuild the galaxy’s only defense force against Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada. Introducing a new cast of Starfighters alongside fan-favorite faces—and new killers and cutthroats in the shadowy employ of the Ko-Dan—The Last Starfighter #1 launches a sci-fi legacy to new heights! 

A defining piece of sci-fi returns with its original creative voice intact, expanding the legacy for longtime fans while opening the door for a new generation raised on expansive, character-driven space epics.

The Last Starfighter #1 hits comic shops July 1, 2026 (FOC June 8), launching an all-new chapter that expands the universe, introduces a new class of Starfighters, and resets the stakes for the galaxy ahead.

Henry Hayes could have been the best baseball player anybody ever saw, if only his dark affliction didn’t prevent him from playing in the daylight. But when the barnstorming circuit introduces a new novelty to the game—night baseball under the bright lights—will his dreams of playing pro ball finally be realized, or will his bloody past catch up with him before he gets the chance? From the midwest fields of the 1920s to the big city lights of today, Past Time is a small town thriller on a National scale.
