There's a clear division between being bad and good. I can't wait to see her arc pan out and hopefully see more of her in the future. This is issue #1 of 5, but hopefully, that's not the end for Ripley Ryan. Read Full Review

Whenever a book has so much hype surrounding it, theres always the potential that it might not live up to the high expectations. Fortunately, Star #1 has lived up to and even exceed these expectations. Between the story and the art, this is a fantastic story, and since it involves the Reality Stone, who knows what repercussions it will have for the larger Marvel universe.  Read Full Review

Pina and Andrade deliver some beautiful visuals throughout this issue. The characters look amazing and the art does a great job of pulling back the action to concentrate on the human story at the heart of this issue. Read Full Review

One thing is for certain. STAR is an absolute hit with a bright future ahead of her, regardless if she falls to villainy or rises to be a hero. With a strong start to her own series in Star #1, the sky really is the limit! Read Full Review

There are plenty of reasons to check out Star #1. Maybe your curiosity was piqued by her role in Captain Marvel. Maybe you're interested in tracking the rise of the new Infinity Stones. Maybe you want to see Kelly Thompson play with an all-star roster of guest stars. Whatever your reason for picking up the book, Ms. Thompson and artist Javier Pina do their utmost to make sure you won't be putting it down disappointed. Read Full Review

As stated,this book is a fun read, which may not offer much in the way of ramifications, though, personally I hope that's not the case. Carol could do with a new counterpart. the ambiguity in Star would serve as an interesting contrast down the line. Read Full Review

Star #1 is a strong start to this antagonist's miniseries, with Star picking a few surprising fights. Read Full Review

A good start and good enough for me to seek out more information about Star. Thumbs up. Read Full Review

Overall, while this issue didn't give Ripley Ryan the introduction to the superhero world she may have wanted. What it did give us is a dang good read. A fun read that while not a blockbuster should serve as a template for others. They're comics, people, pick one up. Read it and enjoy it for what it is: an escape from a crazy world. Ripley may not soar as Star in her first issue, but what she does may be just a little better. Read Full Review

Star #1 makes for a good debut for the new character, and everything is well crafted. The creators here do a great job of getting the reader invested in the character. Read Full Review

Star has the zippy plotting we've come to expect from Thompson as a writer, even if her protagonist hasn't really emerged from the initial sketching phase just yet. Read Full Review

STAR #1 is an underwhelming first issue of a mostly new character. Instead of familiarizing readers with Ripley Ryan and her alter ego, Kelly Thompson throws in a bunch of established characters to kick the crap out of her. We get glimpses of Stars powers and Ripleys struggles, which are interesting, but maybe not enough to carry a book or a series. The short page count certainly didnt help either. Hopefully the second issue gives the creators and character room to breathe and grow. Read Full Review

"Star" #1 serves as a good (re)introduction to Ripley Ryan and sets up the miniseries with potentially reality breaking consequences. Read Full Review

Star is a strong entry in the Captain Marvel spinoff universe. Ms. Marvel has been a major staple for Marvel and from what Thompson and Pina have created, it sets a strong foundation for the series and the character. There are some flaws, as readers need to read or be familiar with the story line from Captain Marvel. The flash backs give little details and makes readers do their research if they just picked up this issue. Read Full Review

Star #1 is a standout book this week! Read Full Review

Star #1 suffers from having just too much untapped potential. There are some parts of this story that are good and show promise ultimately, the creators dropped the ball on an interesting premise. Read Full Review

Fans of good anti-hero comics and Captain Marvel will likely enjoy this, but most audiences should seek a guiding light elsewhere. Read Full Review

One would think that given how quickly Ripley's character was transformed into a villain in the main Captain Marvel series, this would be a welcome chance to fill in the gaps and build her from the ground up. Unfortunately, there's no such luck with Star #1, making this a tough sell to recommend to even the more diehard of Captain Marvel fans. Read Full Review

This is going to be interesting . but for now it's cool.

"Smart woman you can empathize with makes an endless stream of bad choices" is an excellent way to do a villain story. It fits well with the "Earth-woman swept unknowingly into cosmic chaos," too.

Surprised the F outta me! Im in!

Prelude:
This will be interesting since I haven't been reading Thompson's Captain Marvel (I've been meaning to get around to it) but I have head about the character so let's see what this issue can do.

The Good:
I love that we have a villain story again. Not a hero one, nor anti-hero. Just villain and it's great.

I really like Ripley as a character. Plus the whole Reality Stone situation makes things a whole lot more interesting.

I really like the Reality Stone and what it can do so it's great seeing it here.

Very interesting cliffhanger.

The Bad:
Art is a bit off.

I'm questioning Loki's involvement here.

It's a bit of a Marvel world tour.

Conclusion:
A good first issue, and I'm definitely on board for it. Just some odd stylistic choices and I'm not the biggest fan of the art. more

Good start for a character we know so little about. Wish we could have learned more about her this issue.

Well it was a good try, Star, you did your best and that’s what matters!

I enjoyed this and how utterly unaware Star is about basically every character she comes across.

I'm going in unfamiliar with this character, but I found this interesting; there's potential here.
