scans_dailyThe other two books Stan Lee is doing with Boom! Studios (Soldier Zero and The Traveler) have been posted to Scans_Daily already, but so far Starborn hasn't gotten any love. Finally decided I should do something about that.
STARBORN is the story of Benjamin Warner. A young man who works some dull, life-sapping office job in a cubicle, he has dreams of becoming a science fiction novelist. All his life, he's been working on stories about something called the Human Civilization.
Then, one day, he learns that he's from outer space and all those stories he thought he'd made up are in fact real...
For this book, Stan's teamed up with Roberson on writing and Khary Randolph on art.
Here's an excerpt from Ben's writing...
So that's the sort of stuff Ben writes. Though he's been working on his stories since childhood, he only recently completed his first novel-length manuscript and submitted it to publishers. He has high hopes of its acceptance.
Oh, by the way, Ben's adopted. You'll understand why that's relevant soon enough.
He doesn't get too long to mope over the rejection letter because that day, his co-workers all turn into members of the Hive.
Get it? They're office drones.
Ben is rescued by a childhood friend who he hasn't seen in years, Tara Takamoto.
Meanwhile, "beyond the far stars," a meeting between some aliens that sheds some light on what's going on.
On Earth Tara and Ben are able to lose the pursuing Hive, and she fits him with something called an oversuit.
