Mark Millar's Star-Crossed #1: Two Thieves, One Galaxy-Spanning Hunt

Galactic thieves Thena Khole and Cody Blue thought they had it made. They pulled off the universe's biggest heist, robbing its wealthiest woman. Now, their "high life" is over, and every single bounty hunter in existence wants a piece of them. Dark Horse Comics is dropping Star-Crossed #1 this Wednesday, launching a five-issue series from the mind of Mark Millar.

Millar, known for his high-octane, often brutal narratives in hits like Kick-Ass and Wanted, teams up with artist Corrado Mastantuono and letterer Clem Robins for this new sci-fi epic. The duo's audacious theft has put a galaxy-wide price on their heads, drawing the attention of the most formidable bounty hunter seeking the score of a lifetime. Preview pages hint at the chaos left in their wake, with the royal court mobilizing an entire apparatus to hunt them down.

It's a classic "on the run" setup, but with Millar's signature intensity and the vast canvas of a sci-fi universe. Fans can expect a thrilling, no-holds-barred chase as Thena and Cody fight to survive a universe determined to collect their bounty.
