Does marvel seriously need to give an ongoing to every character in their encyclopedia Give me my tigra solo already leave it at that we didn't need a hulking ongoing spanning four trades
A gladiator, a warrior, a hero...the man called Shatterstar has been many things, but one thing he's always been is deadly. He's not a man you want to cross or you'll learn that fact all too well. Walk back into the darkness with Shatterstar.
Rated T+
Who would have thought Shatterstar #1 would be such a fun book? You can never count out Tim Seeley on writing duties, he is just a great writer, no matter who he touches. The artists, inker and colorist all shine in this issue as well. There isn't a bad thing to say about this first issue of Shatterstar except that we have to wait another month for the next installment. Read Full Review
Shatterstar #1 is an excellently made first issue and it has me hyped for issue #2. It is a neat retooling of a Shakespeare play. Pick it up at your LCS or through Comixology. Read Full Review
Shatterstar #1 is amazing. It might be because I went in with low expectations and was blown away, but I don't think that is it. Seeley and the team have put together a stellar cast and a story that anyone can get on board for. It serves as a perfect starting point if you did not know much about the character, like me.

Shatterstar #1 takes a character with tons of possibilities and sets up an interesting premise that has me excited for the future. Read Full Review
Tim Seeley joins forces with two illustrators and a colorist to create a fascinating look in on the mind of a Mojoworld refugee's experience with relative normalcy. Read Full Review
The first issue is a solid one that delivers a lot of humor. There were times I had a smile on my face and it gets me to want to check out the second issue. I worry that we're going to get more action than humor going forward but Seeley delivers a start that has me wanted an ongoing series from the cast of characters we get to know all too briefly.

If the rest of this mini-series is as good as this first issue, then we are in for a nice treat. Seeley and company have created a very fun, engaging and readable comic you should not overlook. Read Full Review
Though it has its faults, this is a promising debut issue that does a lot to set up the character, his world, and his conflicts. Read Full Review
A modest book that plays against type for some surprising emotional depth. I ended up enjoying it a lot. Read Full Review
This is probably one of the stronger debut issues to a mini-series I’ve seen n the past few months since it checks all the boxes of having a good premise, a good explanation of the current state of the protagonist, and a good introduction of the antagonist for the series. Read Full Review
Shatterstar #1 has detail characterization with some good humor. Overall, I thought it was fun, but just OK. Still, its worth checking out. Read Full Review
Having said all of that, if Seeley can bring more depth to the story and beef up his character work then Shatterstar just might turn into a surprisingly fun title. Read Full Review
Fans of Shatterstar will likely be disappointed by the book. Instead of leaning into all the weird things that separated Shatterstar from the dozens of other muscular, blade-slinging, teeth-gritting heroes of the 1990s, Shatterstar strips it all away, leaving him a husk of the character he once was.

Not really up to date with shatterstar or pretty much any X-universe character, but damn this was a pretty cool issue. I'll stick around for a while.
The character work on Shatterstar, with its strong metafictional edge, is intriguing.
This is so Tim Seeley.
I love what Peter David did with Shatterstar in his run on X-Factor. This was nothing like that. Don't waste your money as I did.
