Starro unleashed
We teased the amazing Starro design sketch by J.G. Jones not too long ago, but why not unveil the reinterpreted villain's final look?
CBR spoke to R.E.B.E.L.S. writer Tony Bedard about Starro, and he had a few interesting tidbits:
I want to leave some mystery because we’re slowly unveiling the new Starro over the next few issues of ”R.E.B.E.L.S.” and then really going in-depth with the upcoming Starro special. I think it’s safe to say that the Star Conqueror is a cosmic Genghis Khan, but he’s also much more than that.
And here's what he looks like, courtesy of the cover to R.E.B.E.L.S. #6, by Kalman Andrasofszky:
Starro, like you've never seen him before
