DC Comics
This collection presents an unforgettable tale of all consuming hatred
and cynical heroism. During the Golden Age, Ted Knight, the original
Starman, continually found himself in battle with his archnemesis, the
Mist. Decades later, this old foe looks to continue this ancient
vendetta against the elderly Knight as he returns and takes the life of
the hero's oldest son. Now Ted's rebellious younger son Jack is forced
into a role that he does not want and has spent a lifetime denying.
Wielding his father's power staff, the reluctant youth takes on the
guise of a new Starman as he looks to avenge his brother and end the
threat of the Mist once and for all.
