An epic teenage DC hero event brought to you by Teen Titans writer Geoff Johns and iconic Young Justice illustrator Todd Nauck! When Stargirl of the Justice Society and Green Arrow's ally Red Arrow discover a tragic teenage hero from the past has gone missing, they set out to find him...only to discover he's not the first teenage hero of the Golden Age to have vanished without a trace. But where have they gone? Who are they? And what does the Childminder want with them?
Stargirl The Lost Children #1 starts with great affection for every character involved, lays the groundwork for cool winter mystery reading, and aims to put several heroes on the DC map. No small mountains are being climbed here. I love the opening salvo for the story, art, colors, letters, and overall vivacity. If you love the show, the Golden Age of comics, Green Arrow, or are looking for something new to put into your bin, choose this one. Read Full Review
Geoff Johns and Todd Nauck are back with mystery and adventure as we look for The Lost Children. They are using elements from all across the DCU, including newly discovered ones, to make a fun, entertaining miniseries that rejuvenates the Golden Age. Read Full Review
Stargirl: The Lost Children #1 is pure, wholesome superhero fun from start to finish. Johns's writing lays out a near-perfect setup for a larger mystery that spans decades, and Hauck's art is spectacular. Read Full Review
There is a lot going on here, and most of it is very good. Courtney's own supporting cast seems to get a bit of short shift this issue, but her friendship with Emiko is a lot of fun. This is a great start and I can't wait to see where the cliffhanger goes. Read Full Review
This was an encouraging debut for this six-issue mini-series. While Johns end game for these lost legacy heroes is still in question, the mystery in getting there is intriguing. Read Full Review
Stargirls back in her own book, or rather her own teen team thats in the development stage, that looks to be filled with teen sidekicks of Golden Age, as well as their younger legacy characters here, building around a mystery that goes 80 years back. Court and Emiko are fun, and Johns handles the family chemistry well here. As a continuity buff, its always a treat reading stories by Johns, Waid, or Busiek, who really know their stuff. Add in Naucks penchant for drawing young characters young. If this team can make this mystery something to draw readers in, this could be a big hit for DC. Read Full Review
If you liked last week's The New Golden Age #1, then Stargirl: The Lost Children #1 is a perfect follow up. Fans of the Stargirl TV show will find something familiar, even if some aspects aren't familiar, it's hard to keep the spunky Courtney/ Emiko duo away from an intriguing mystery! The nostalgia for Golden Age legacy goes beyond the simple emotion that is evoked but adds something that's been missing from the DC Comics comic book universe for too long, a tangible sense of history and interrelated characters and stories.

I didn't know what to expect from Stargirl: The Lost Children #1, but it didn't matter, because what I received was fantastic, and I eagerly await the rest of this miniseries. Read Full Review
This first chapter of Stargirl: The Lost Children is a conflicted book, but that mirrors the conflict in the heart of DC Comics. I think most readers are tired of big events and the books I hear discussed most enthusiastically are the ones unconnected to big events. Yet it is apparently the big event books that drive the sales of the monthly series, if not the trade collections. I don't know what the answer is. All I know is that there were parts of this book I enjoyed very much, though they made me wish for a series that doesn't exist on our Earth. Read Full Review

Great book! Not a huge fan of Todd Nauck, but his art worked well here and as always, Geoff Johns writes another great one!
Love it
That my first floppy in two years after I had to separate myself from my collection. I can follow marvel title with their app but it's not the same. It's a good feeling to have a floppy in hand with a artist who put me on my first comics' title in English (Young Justice).

Johns love the Golden Age and make them shine. It's not only works, it's pure love for the characters of this era. I only know abo more
Todd Nauck is a beast!
Love reading more Stargirl, and the Golden Age pulls were so fantastic that I had to go up and do some deep diving on the DC Database Wiki! The most important part of this is the fact that it truly feels like a pre-flashpoint comic, something that is made for the long time fans, before all this pandering to new readers that makes the universe feel so small.
It feels very much like the television show. The characters all have similar voices to their counterparts on TV. I do like the introduction of Red Arrow, who is new to me. The story is not very fleshed out thus far. I'll wait to see what happens in the next issue.
