THE NEW GOLDEN AGE CONTINUTES! Stargirl and Red Arrow track down the mysterious island Courtney saw in her vision. But can the pair of heroes locate Wing and any other missing heroes or will they be captured by the creature who claims this island as their own?
I feel like this series didn't get as much hype in advance as Johns' new Justice Society of America series did, but so far this is the one that's probably going to stick with me longer and deliver the more exciting read. Read Full Review
Readers even get to see the Arrow Cave as well as experience some corny goatee jokes. What more could you ask for in a comic? I highly recommend picking up Stargirl: The Lost Children #2, as well as issue one, for something lighthearted yet still important to the overall climate of DC Comics. Add this puppy to your pull list post haste! Let me know what you think, have a great week, and God Bless! Read Full Review
Stargirl: The Lost Children #1 was one of the month's most pleasant surprises, and issue #2 meets that same high bar. Read Full Review
Stargirl: The Lost Children #2 is "more fun than issue #1. After the drama of the setup, Emiko and Courtney's visit to the Arrow Cave as their journey begins gives the issue a light-hearted start. The plot moves along as the duo finally gets confirmation that they are on the right track. It's the right combination of fun and adventure with a touch of drama and world-building that is geared toward the Golden Age/ legacy fan. Read Full Review
Stargirl: The Lost Children #2 hits all the emotional beats while advancing the mystery. We can see that the Childminder isn't messing around, which puts Stargirl and Red Arrow in a dangerous spot. Geoff Johns and Todd Nauck deliver a potent one-two punch with the art and story as we continue the search for the Lost Children. Read Full Review
Stargirl: The Lost Children #2 is pure, unadulterated, family-friendly, superhero adventure, and fun. Courtney and Emiko's quest is intriguing, the breadcrumbs of discovery are curiously entertaining, and the art is fantastic. This comic is all about fun, and we need more fun comics from DC right about now. Read Full Review
Johns and company are playing with intriguing ideas that rest in the margins of the DC continuity. They would hold a lot more impact if the rest of the DC Universe had a little more continuity to it, but the idea of a lost Golden Age feels captivating enough as Johns continues to explore it in the second issue of Stargirls new mini-series.

This book is not reinventing the wheel but this wheel does not need to be it is a perfect wheel and does not need reinventing
Tons of fun and I’m excited to see where this goes. I think Geoff Johns taking a break from the main DCU for a little bit has made me appreciate him all the more. Absence and the heart growing finder and all that.
Courtney has been the goat for over 20 years, but damn is Emiko an awesome POV. Loved the mentions of Starfish Island and Diablo Island (where the Heart of Darkness was found by Bruce Gordon IIRC) and now Orphan Island! Cool new version of Airwave, I think the last time we saw his character was in the Morrison GL Annual from 2019. Super excited to dig into more obscure Silver Age lore and new characters promoting a more traditional unified DC Continuity, from the JSA to the Legion.
Johns' Stargirl never misses.
I think when GJ doesn't have to balance multiple plot threads and re-invent the entire DC universe at the same time, but just write more personal stories, he truly shines.
Todd Nauck continues to surprise me, that arrow cave splash is amazing.
This was basically a bridge issue. They somehow find out the coordinates to the island and take a boat out to it. Just the two of them. i do like the nesters. That was a fun idea. I hope the next one is better. I do enjoy the chemistry between Star Girl and Emiko.
