A PREHISTORIC SAVAGE... WITH THE POWER OF THE STARS!
Legendary artist Dale Keown (The Incredible Hulk) is here to unleash the secret, savage origin of the biggest, nastiest, most cosmically-powered caveman who ever lived: the original Starbrand, one of the mighty Avengers of One Million B.C.
Rated T+
The art team demolished this one. Between the dinosaurs, a celestial and a Starbrand Hulk there were plenty of opportunities for impressive action shots. Not relying on action alone, the tranquil garden scene had elegance and grace. The emotion was beautifully conveyed on the two lovers' faces. This was the best kind of book; one that could stand alone with no context and still shine. Read Full Review
It's a remarkable story with excellent art, and even though it's not part of any ongoing storyline, it's as satisfying issue of this book as we've ever gotten.This is really good. Read Full Review
This month we get a spotlight on the Prehistoric Starbrand. This former caveman's origin is tragic just like his Avengers' teammates. How does the origin of this Starbrand connect to the arrival of a new Starbrand next issue? Read Full Review
Although seemingly inconsequential unless readers are fully invested in Jason Aaron's long-term Avengers 1,000,000 BCE subplot,Avengers #26 packs a world of fun, heart, and imagination into its story. Bonus, for emphasis: super space t-rex. Read Full Review
This was a really cool read and I actually enjoyed learning about this origin.
The Cave-Venger Starbrand's origin story is beautiful and sad and queer. The prose and the art invest the "gay Eden" premise with enough gravitas to make it rewarding, but it doesn't quite overcome its gimmick-itude to get to all-time greatness. It's a fun diversion, though, and it proves there's some mileage left in the Cave-Venger sub-plot.
Oh my god no, my heaaaaaart.
It's been a while since we've had a story like this in this book, and it was really nice and refreshing to read it.

This was a solid, yet simple story.
Great art and simple and sometimes boring story, but I’d very much like to get more origin stories for each of the Prehistoric Avengers in the future
A bit of a let down compared to the other origins. This book is dragging right now. The momentum is gone. I hope Aaron gets back to telling the story he teased. Too many fillers right now.
