Star-Crossed

The two greatest thieves in the universe have a price on their head and every single bounty hunter alive is out to collect it. The greatest bounty hunter in the galaxy is after the ultimate prize, but they’re not going to come quietly.

Two of the most popular comic book franchises, Sharkey the Bounty Hunter and Space Bandits, come together as the galaxy’s greatest bounty hunter and his sidekick Extra-Billy are hired to track down the two most wanted women in the universe.

Thena Khole and Cody Blue ripped off the richest woman in the universe. They’ve been living it up ever since on the other side of the cosmos, but now the Queen of Most has not only sent her royal assassins out to capture them, but she’s also put a price on their heads that’s got every bounty hunter in existence excited.

The girls are on the run like never before in a cosmic version of Midnight Run as the superstar creative team of Mark Millar and Corrado Mastantuono join forces and bring these two popular franchises together for their ultimate conclusions. Not to be missed.
