STAR SLAMMERS REMASTERED (2014)

"Walter Simonson can honestly be described as a living legend. Besides co-creating Manhunter with the great Archie Goodwin, in the early days of his career, Simonson has written and drawn nearly all of the Marvel and DC characters at one time or another. Highlights include The Fantastic Four, Batman, Orion, Elric, and his groundbreaking run on The Mighty Thor. But before all of these, there was Star Slammers, a series first devised by Simonson during his college days. The Slammers would later be resurrected as a Marvel Graphic Novel, and then a mini-series. Simonson describes it thus: Once upon a time, there was a race of men who could out-shoot, out-fight, and out-kill anybody. They were paid fabulous sums to act as mercenaries. The practice became so lucrative, they decided to go into business. They became the most successful businessmen in history, and they called themselves The Star Slammers!"

"Part two of Walter Simonson's epic space saga, completely re-mastered and re-colored! The Orisons prided themselves on being the greatest hunters in the galaxy They discovered that they were hunting the most dangerous game in the universe. "

"Fueled by a desperate desire for revenge and a cynical need for better ratings, the hunters of Orion have targeted the Slammers' homeworld for planetwipe. As the Orions' Skumbarges swoop down to deliver their deadly cargoes of complete destruction, the outnumbered Slammers rise to meet them with a ramshackle fighting force of obsolete warships, dilapidated starfighters, and grim resolve. Their only hope is a theoretical mind fusion known as the Silvermind, and the one Slammer to ever achieve the Silvermind is already dead."

"A bold new adventure starts here! The Minoan Agents Chapter One: The Prisoner: Once upon a time, the Greater Minoan Co-Prosperity Cluster captured a live Star Slammer. Amid great excitement, he was transported aboard the starship Meredith, bound for the heart of the Empire and a show trial and execution it all turned out rather badly."

"Chapter 2: The Empire: The Starship Meredith is flying to the Imperial Capitol of Knossos, carrying priceless cargo, a captured Star Slammer. But things have gone terribly wrong. A hidden assassin aboard the ship has apparently killed the Slammer and his jailers. And the only way for Colonel Phaedra to find out what happened is for her to force the Emperor's personal telepath to access the minds of the dead men!"

"The Minoan Agendas: Chapter Three-The Invaders. The captured Star Slammer, Rojas, has broken free and is loose aboard the Starship Meredith. Colonel Phaedra and her squad of Space Bulls are searching the ship desperately, only to discover that the Meredith herself is being attacked by a military force clad in hardened space armor! Just as the Colonel locates the Slammer, an armored squad with ill intent blows through the airlock and corners them both! Let the dance begin. "

"Walter Simonson's classic tale continues! The Starship Meredith is cranked up to nearly light speed, and is taking aim at the heart of the Empire in a suicide mission that looks to put an end to any number of promising careers, our hero's included. Be here for The Minoan Agendas: Chapter Four--The Ship."

"Buckle up for explosive conclusion of the re-colored Star Slammers series by Walter Simonson! "
