But when a mysterious girl appears with grim news and an urgent quest where the fate of the universe hangs in the balance, Becstar has no choice but to join… and regret it immediately.

Star hop with Becstar, Sally and Anyessa as they drift through the galaxy to escape the nefarious shadow syndicates radar. With the help of Becstar’s magical lucky dagger will they be able to save the universe or will the fate of the universe hang in the balance.

“Having seen Mad Cave Studios expand over the past couple of years, I was ecstatic to be approached about contributing to their ever growing library of comics. Becstar was an opportunity for me to have fun writing the kind of fantastical sci-fi stories I personally love while also telling a deeper story about losing the people important to your life who defined you and having to build yourself back up again. I’m grateful to have been given this opportunity and I hope my enthusiasm shines through.”
– Writer, Joe Corallo

“As a young emerging artist, I’ve hoped that my first opportunity would be in the comic world. It seemed as though the stars had aligned when Mad Cave Studios found me. Working on Becstar has been such an amazing experience, and each day I find myself identifying more and more with the characters. This wouldn’t have been such a great experience if it wasn’t for our amazing team. Joe and Chris have gone above and beyond in making sure I feel at home, which has made all the difference. I look forward to continuing my career with this team and showing everyone the amazing adventures of Becstar, Sally and Paprika!”

“Becstar is a highly enjoyable sci-fi story with some superpowers thrown in for good measure. The creative team has rendered an interesting world well worth exploring and this first issue offers a story that’s hard to put down.” - David Brooke

“As I read this 1st issue of BECSTAR, the first thought I had was number one, the art was very unique and quite cyber punky…(is that even a word?). Doesn’t matter, because I like it. It’s always the great thing about comics. There are so many ways to draw them, write them, color them that don’t always fit in the normal cookie cutter mold. BECSTAR is such a book.” - Martin Sexton

“The art is unique as it’s got a playful style for the characters that’s a bit wild, but the backgrounds and rendering in the comic is very detailed. I like it alot. The book is action packed from the beginning and even the exposition filling in the backstory is exciting.” - Shane Bailey
