Who Are The Main Characters In Starstruck?

Starstruck is this wild, hilarious sci-fi comic that feels like a chaotic mix of 'Mad Max' and 'The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,' and its characters are just as colorful as you'd expect. The story revolves around Elaine Lee and Michael Kaluta’s absurd universe, but the heart of it all is Brucilla the Muscle, a no-nonsense, tough-as-nails mercenary who’s basically the poster child for 'don’t mess with me.' She’s got this brutal charm and a knack for survival, even when the galaxy seems determined to throw every possible disaster her way. Then there’s Erotica Ann, her polar opposite—a naive, wide-eyed innocent who somehow keeps stumbling into trouble. Their dynamic is pure gold, with Brucilla constantly dragging Erotica Ann out of messes while grumbling about it the whole time.

Other standout characters include the scheming Queen Thor of the Space Vikings, who’s equal parts terrifying and ridiculous, and the perpetually unlucky Captain Starstruck, whose name is ironic because nothing ever goes right for him. There’s also the robotic but oddly philosophical Rambeau, who provides some of the best deadpan commentary in the series. What I love about 'Starstruck' is how every character feels larger than life, yet they’re all deeply flawed in ways that make them weirdly relatable. Brucilla might be a powerhouse, but she’s also stubborn to a fault, and Erotica Ann’s optimism borders on self-destructive. It’s a cast that shouldn’t work together, but their chaos meshes perfectly in this insane universe. If you’re into sci-fi with a heavy dose of satire and heart, this comic’s cast is worth every second of your time.
