“DEATH STAR”
STARRO, the alien lifeform that looks like an enormous starfish, asexually reproduces countless spores that attach themselves to sentient lifeforms. Once a spore is on you, Starro controls your mind! Starro has used this ability to take control of TWELEVE ENTIRE GALAXIES, turning their denizens into a massive invasion force the likes of which the universe has never seen! The Green Lantern HQ world of Oa has already fallen before this swarm, and Starro’s next target… is Earth!
Yet Starro systematically weakens its targets before it invades by using spores to take control of a planet’s greatest champions, turning them against the planet they defended! And Starro has done that… to us! Many of our heroes have already been taken over by Starro. Can their friends stop them? Can Earth survive?
The epic event begins here!!!

“ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER”
As one alien threat looms over Earth, an equally alien hero steps up to defend his adopted world. J'onn J'onzz has shed his secret identity as a top U.S. Official and leads Earth’s resistance against the overwhelming might of Starro! At first focused on safeguarding the world’s nuclear arsenal, the Martian Manhunter soon realizes Earth has a much more desirable asset... its vast metahuman population!
J’onn had created an orbital satellite base as part of his yet-unannounced plan to organize the planet’s heroes into a powerful defensive force - but if the satellite is taken, its prototype resources and data will enable Starro to find and capture almost all of Earth’s metahumans! The mission is clear: defend the Watchtower at all costs! Yet even with the help of Green Lantern John Stewart and Booster Gold, can J’onn possibly stop his own allies: the Flash, Rocket Red, Ravager, King Faraday, and Lobo?!? And is that... Starro-controlled Maxwell Lord?
Their only hope may be an unexpected ally, someone who has been shepherding the development of metahumanity for 50,000 years and will not see his children fall to any foreign invasive species. Can the resistance trust... Vandal Savage?!?

“IN LEAGUE”
Nothing and no one, not even the Universe’s greatest guardians, have been able to stand against the massive onslaught of Starro’s swarm. Earth is about to fall. The conqueror has mentally enslaved an incalculable number of warriors, all working in league pursuant to its expansionistic will. If there is to be any hope, our heroes will need a league of their own...
The Martian Manhunter has a plan. He can read minds, but cannot understand the language Starro uses to control his drones. Yet one hero does speak echinoderm... Arthur Curry, the Aquaman! If J’onn can form a psychic link with the Atlantean and get in range of Starro, he may be able to sever or even usurp control of the swarm! But the plan to get in range is even more audacious.
A team of heroes unlike any other must come together. The last son of Krypton, Superman! The dark knight, Batman! The Amazonian princess, Wonder Woman! The fastest man alive, the Flash! The Green Lantern, John Stewart! The genius engineer, Steel! Together with Martian Manhunter and Aquaman, this Justice League must board a unique space vessel and fight their way to the heart of the swarm... for only there can they hope to accomplish an impossible victory!
But they’re not alone, for Vandal Savage has been preparing to mercilessly destroy any threat to humanity for 50,000 years. He has his own ship and his own assemblage of metahuman “heroes” - the Children of the Light. They’re following the League into the fray, but are sworn to save Earth at any cost - even if it means the lives of a quintillion innocent victims controlled by Starro!

“NO JUSTICE... JUST US”
The universe-shaking conclusion to Next Dawn’s first major line-wide event!!!
Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern John Stewart, Steel, Aquaman, and the Martian Manhunter have taken the Javelin-7 into the heart of Starro’s swarm to face down the enormous five-pointed monster itself! But Starro’s legions are endless... and the Justice League’s focus is split!
Martian Manhunter and Aquaman strain to combine their telepathy and marine communication abilities to usurp control of the galaxy-spanning horde! They seek to push those that Starro mentally enslaved to attack and remove their brethren’s Starro spores, freeing them from control - but to do that, they must engage in a battle of wills with Starro deep within the creature’s own extremely-alien mindscape! What echinodermic horrors lie within?
While on that mental journey, it’s up to Superman, Wonder Woman, and the Green Lantern to defend their physical bodies from a galaxy’s worth of Starro-controlled assailants... but John Stewart’s ring is about to run out of energy!
Meanwhile, Vandal Savage and his own hand-picked team of metahumans followed the League and have a more... final plan for Starro: a weapon that will send a shockwave through the swarm - killing all the spores, but also causing fatal brain hemorrhages in at least fifty percent of those controlled. These acceptable loses to Vandal Savage are not acceptable to Batman, Steel, and the Flash! Can they stop the immortal killer and his “children” before quadrillions die?
This. Is. It. The action-packed end to STARRO WARS!
