Aug 30, 2021
Having grown quickly in online popularity, Atlantis Studios has finally released the official print versions of its science-fiction epic Star Runner Chronicles: Fallen Star, available to pre-order in September's Previews.
This three-issue limited series follows a rebellious teen girl with a mysterious past and unpredictable powers she cannot control. Aurora Palmer would do anything not to stand out, but her mysterious abilities make her different than everyone else. When a sudden flare-up of her long-hidden powers exposes her, she is forced to uncover the truth behind her origins before it is destroyed forever!
Adapted from the screenplay by James Watson and Charlotte Stauffer, The Star Runner Chronicles: Fallen Star has earned praise from fans who’ve read the series online. This September, the full series will be available to PreviewsWorld customers in an exclusive print edition that includes 20 pages of exclusive content, concept art, and series background just for the collector. It is a fun, fast-paced, and thought-provoking adventure for readers 12+ with colorful, dynamic artwork by Leo Cordeiro, Carlos Eduardo, Mohan Sivakami, and Wilson Ramos.
In an interview published this summer in Fan Base Press, creator James Watson discussed the inspiration for the series; “Ultimately, it’s a story I hope anyone can relate to. Aurora is a normal teen who learns that she’s different from everyone else. She faces incredible obstacles to discover the truth of her origins, then uses her gifts to defend her friends and ultimately embrace her destiny.”
Critics have praised the series, calling Star Runner a “…must-read for all comic book fans (Tyler Glass, Shattered Glass comic reviews)”. Here are more reviews:
