Funeral for a coworker! The former employees of Heroz4U mourn the loss of yet another one of their own as they all struggle to return to civilian life. Have things changed for the better for some? Or are they all destined to be one-star heroes for good? Be sure to check out the grand finale of the critically acclaimed miniseries by Mark Russell (The Flintstones) and Steve Lieber (Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen)!
Equal parts bleak and hopeful, this final issue of One-Star Squadron delivers the profundity I was hoping for with a Mark Russell comic. Read Full Review
Lieber does excellent work with the art in the issue. The characters shine visually as the story concentrates on their emotional states and the look of the art is perfect for the tone of the story itself. Read Full Review
One-Star Squadron ends in a better place and offers more satisfaction than much of its journey, which provides an appropriate parallel for its own narrative and themes. Read Full Review
Russell's satire has felt a little darker, a little more caustic lately, and it doesn't work quite as well as some of his brilliant past work. Read Full Review
One-Star Squadron #6 ends the series as well as the series started - with a mix of one part satirical jokes that don't work, one part misery, and one part heart. The grounded art is acceptable for the story's dramatic elements, but neither the writing nor the art makes sense for these characters and the superhero world they inhabit. In retrospect, there is no point or entertainment value in this series, so chalk it up to a creator vanity piece that will likely never be remembered.6.5/10 Read Full Review
Sad but hopeful.
this feels like another version of Tom King's vision, but it has mature themes about capitalism and corporation, and it was satisfying. I liked this series, it is an underrated gem from DC's Infinite Frontier era.
