As this Shatterstar solo miniseries has come to a close, for me it has been a fun read with just enough substance in each issue to push me and wonder what's next. I really enjoyed the flashbacks and how Tim Seeley threw in a past lover to explain why Shatterstar and Rictor has a history of on an off again and again relationship. Seeley ends his run with a sweet ending with many possibilities for the story to continue. Read Full Review
Shatterstar ends with a somewhat sweet ending that wraps up this mediocre miniseries nicely. Read Full Review
I'm not all that sad this series is over, but it was a fun and entertaining run.
Now that it's all over, I think the big fault was trying to squeeze the kidnapped tenants and the vengeful ex (complete with her own supporting cast) into the same story. The creators should have picked one over the other (the tenants, if I had my druthers); there just wasn't space in 5 issues to do both justice.
This finale needed me to care about anyone in this story and I didn't. Not once. The use of Earth-1218 was actually pretty decent. But Grandmaster is definitely going to come back. It's just going to make one writer's job a lot harder to ressurect him.
