Starfire, Vol. 1

The Mygorg chieftain shoves a mutated human into the pit fight arena, where he forces him to face off with a giant Frost-Dragon. It exhales its freezing breath upon the giant, but the man manages to snap off one of its horns and drives it into the creature's side. Suddenly, Starfire arrives and dives into the throng of spectators armed only with a dagger. The Mygorg keepers usher the human giant into a steel cage, but Starfire's band of rebels drive them back. They steal the cage and retreat from the arena deep into the forest.

Later, the mute frees himself from the cage and befriends Starfire. She names him Thump and welcomes him to the cause of freedom. She then consults with the aging priest, Anzus, and asks him about the map leading to the lost lair of the Lightning Lords. Anzus cannot decipher the Mygorg text, but simple-minded Thump appears to understand the alien writing.

Later, the Mygorg chieftain deploys a slave-scout named Moonwatcher to track down Starfire and her rebels. Moonwatcher however, has his own plans. Late at night, he kills his Mygorg slave master and sneaks out into the night. He tracks Starfire to her forest camp and joins the rebel faction.

The following evening, Starfire leads a raid on a small village. They attack the Mygorg keepers and free several dozen humans from the bonds of slavery. Recruiting several more able-bodied rebels, the band continues its search for the elusive Lightning Lords.
