BETA RAY BILL BY DANIEL WARREN JOHNSON: ARGENT STAR TPB [NEW PRINTING]

Beta Ray Bill, the second wielder of the hammer of Thor, is the guardian of the Korbinites, an alien race whose home was destroyed by Surtur, a villain of Thor!

Eisner winning creator Daniel Warren Johnson, one of the comics industry's superstars known for such titles as Transformers, Wonder Woman: Dead Earth, and now Beta Ray Bill for Marvel, writes a compelling tale of super space-faring adventure.

The second-most famous wielder of Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor, Beta Ray Bill is tired of life in Thor's shadow - and with Bill's own mighty hammer, Stormbreaker, recently destroyed at the thunder god's hands, Bill finds himself at a crossroads.

The Korbinite must strike out in search of his destiny - assuming he can first defeat a Knullified Fin Fang Foom! Bill begins a hunt for Odin in hopes of resurrecting his golden weapon - but Stormbreaker is never coming back.

Nonetheless, there is one place where Beta Ray Bill could restore his full powers. The All-Father of Nothing offers the Korbinite a path to immortality - but at a price not even a god can afford! Who will join Bill on a dangerous and deadly cosmic quest?
