My high school had a weirdly huge (possibly complete?) collection of Starman, but I never really read it for whatever reason. It's actually really fascinating - this feels like the missing link between 90s mainline-DC-continuity and 90s Vertigo. The use of color is really beautiful - Opal City is maybe the only place other than Gotham in the DC universe that feels real. Looking forward to picking up more of these. ( )

Starman is a very atypical superhero. Sure, he's heroic--but he also collects "vintage" junk and has relationship problems. ( )

This was a really great read. I think this is a great way to update the story without totally rearranging the original tale. Jack is the son of the original Starman, the younger son, who rebelled from the family legacy. But when his father's arch nemesis The Mist decides to try and get vengeance by murdering Jack's older brother, injuring his father, blowing up Jack's shop and tries to ruin his mother's legacy. Jack steps up to become the new Starman, with his own twists, just as his father has always known he would. This is more then just a super hero story, it's also about being your own person and family. ( )
