• The god-like STARBRAND is losing his grip on his humanity!
• Can NIGHTMASK bring him back to Earth?
• And as our planetary defense, we need STARBRAND more than ever!
• Feel the heat of KOLOBUS...a cosmic threat powerful enough to burn us all down!
I know I was kind of hard on this issue in this review, but that is because it failed me so hard. I really wanted to care about Starbrand the way I care about Hyperion now, but this issue only made me dislike the character as opposed to just not caring at all. This issue also wasted about three hours of my life because it made my want to watch some DBZ and that is a crime that is inexcusable, folks. Read Full Review
"Avengers" #34.2 isn't a comic book I would normally pay five dollars for, but Humphries' work with Starbrand (with a side of Nightmask and Spider-Woman) gives an under-defined character a chance to shine a little bit. Bengal's art is stronger in storytelling than detail but works just fine for the tale at hand. Independent of the current "Avengers" storyline and higher-priced than a typical issue of any "Avengers" title, "Avengers" #34.2 reads more like an Annual-lite and inherently feels a little bit more dispensable as well.

Decent, grounded story to help us know Starbrand and Nightmask better.
The more I think about this story the more problems I have with it.
Yeah, this is not good. I had some real trouble getting through this. It's unfortunate.
Terrible art and it somehow made me care about Starbrand and Nightmask even less
Not too bad of a story but the art was all around terrible.
This stuff is simple randomness of events without a logical or merely artistic meaning. And when it tries to steal a laugh from you, it only upsets.
