Synopsis

Adam Strange's star-spanning adventure comes to its deadly conclusion! But the end of Adam's struggle is only the beginning of the greatest threat the universe has ever seen. Get ready for the opening salvos of the Rann/Thanagar War, which continues in a major miniseries later in 2005!                                   Starbreaker has finished consuming the energy of Rann’s three suns and now turns his attention to Rann. In orbit over Rann, and Thanagarians and Rannians are fighting when Dox teleports back with backup. L.E.G.I.O.N. soldiers and three Darkstars - Ferrin Colos, Munchukk and Chaser Bron. Adam Strange then teleports himself inside the Thanagarian ship and then teleports the reactor core to the ship’s bridge and using this knowledge regarding Thanagarian technology, reprograms the Zeta Beam. The ship blows up and meets up with the other Rannians. Adam then hears that Alanna and Sardath are being held hostage by Valkyr and two Thanagarians. Adam teleports in and kills the two Thanagarian guards, injuring Valkyr. However, there is a third Thanagarian guard and he and Adam fight hand-to-hand. Valkyr then takes Alanna prisoner. Starbreaker is nearing Rann and the three Darkstars blast Starbreaker. Dox tells them that their blaster energy is only giving him power, so they switch their blasters to absorb the power. Munchukk is killed by blast from Dox and Chaser Bron's suit overloads, killing him in an explosion. Ferrin Colos is the last Darkstar. As Valkyr holds Alanna, he mocks Adam. Alanna then headbutts Valkyr. Valkyr then knocks back Alanna, and heads toward the Omega Beam’s console. She may not be able to prevent them from teleporting, but she can change the destination. Adam demands her to stop what she’s doing, but Valkyr mocks him again saying that he wouldn’t dare shoot a woman in the back. Alanna with a blaster in her hand, shoots Valkyr. Ferrin Colos knows his suit is overloading and wants everyone to remember...
