Galaxy: The Prettiest Star

It takes strength to live as your true self, and one alien princess disguised as a human boy is about to test her power. A vibrant story about gender identity, romance, and shining as bright as the stars.

Taylor Barzelay has the perfect life. Good looks, good grades, a starting position on the basketball team, a loving family, even an adorable corgi. Every day in Taylor’s life is perfect. And every day is torture

Taylor is actually the Galaxy Crowned, an alien princess from the planet Cyandii, and one of the few survivors of an intergalactic war. For six long, painful years, Taylor has accepted her duty to remain in hiding as a boy on Earth.

That all changes when Taylor meets Metropolis girl Kat Silverberg, whose confidence is electrifying. Taylor no longer wants to hide, even if exposing her true identity could attract her greatest enemies.

Justice League Intergalactic Special

The planet Naltor and the Green Lanterns that protect it fall under the spell of the wretched Witch Queen, who harnesses the planet’s dream energy in hopes of taking over all that lies beyond. But have no fear, Star Sapphire’s assembled team of Justice Leaguers will no doubt liberate them all! Except, well, Green Arrow sure does hate space. And Adam Strange’s ship comes under attack before it even enters Naltorian orbit. And Galaxy invited her best friend and one of the League’s most wanted, Dreamer, along on the mission without telling anybody. And Dreamer’s visions seem to spell doom from the very start. Just when Star Sapphire thought she was getting the hang of her powers and the whole team-leader thing… Will this team of disparate dynamos figure out how to come together to win the day? Or will they, too, succumb to the Witch Queen’s all consuming hive mind?

Justice League: Dream Girls — A DC PrIDe event

Fresh off the events of Justice League Intergalactic Special #1, Dreamer and Galaxy suddenly awaken on the island of Themyscira…living their best lives as princess and champion of the Amazons! But wait—weren’t they just having a blowout friendship fight on the Watchtower, right in front of half the League? And who’s this mysterious man that just washed up on their shores, insisting Dreamer leave paradise with him to save the world? And why does this heroic origin story and its increasingly strange and shifting landscape feel both familiar and wrong all at once? It’s almost like…they’re lost in a dream? 

The Key was once a villain who could infect the dreams of even the most powerful heroes through complex chemical cocktails. Now, in Dreamer, he sees a way to control the dreamscape for real–if he can craft a fantasy compelling enough to make her surrender to him. If only Dreamer’s best friend Galaxy didn’t keep interfering!
