Rated T+
This story is a fantastic setup for what promises to be an absolutely stunning next issue as with Captain Marvels arrival, Star is facing the fight of her life; the fight for her life. This is the tipping point for her character as the outcome will decide if she becomes a legendary villain or can be turned into a hero. Read Full Review
Pina and Andrade bring some gorgeous visuals to this issue and progress the story with action and details throughout every panel. From the reveal of Carol Danvers to the backstory, both artist's styles brilliantly mesh in this story. Read Full Review
Kelly Thompson has proven herself a master wordsmith and the rest of the creative team have forged a visually stimulating work of art. There's a flashback scene with a particularly interesting style different from the rest of the book. I imagine that's where the multiple credited artists come in. I'm in this one for the long haul. Miss Thompson, please tell me this poor, fictional white lady is going to be ok. Read Full Review
Star #3 kicks things up a notch with very real consequences pushing Ripley to a dangerous edge of self discovery. This has quickly become a series that any fan of well-executed superhero comics won't want to miss out on. Read Full Review
STAR #3 builds upon the previous issue to become the best of the short series. The resolution to last issues main ordeal may feel a little cheap, but Kelly Thompson explains it in a believable way. The main art throughout is consistently great, and while the flashback art is off-putting in its stark difference, the narration within hammers home Ripley Ryans motivations. STAR is a series that has improved with each issue, and hopefully the trend continues. Read Full Review
Star #3 is full of emotionally raw and open scenes, brilliant artwork, and a chance to see the side of Marvel and superheroes rarely shown. Read Full Review
Star #3 abruptly ditches the "mystic cave" angle from the previous issue and lays out the protagonist's real-world challenges with admirable efficiency. Great character work in both words and art combine with some intriguing plot twists to keep a tight grip on the reader's interest. This issue sets the stage for an excellent climax, clarifying the players and the stakes without prematurely answering all the questions. Read Full Review
Star is addressing some weighty themes and questions, and it's doing so quite gracefully. Read Full Review
very good story
Awesome and Enjoyable.
Prelude:
Last issue of Star was good though Ripley needs to do more in her own mini. Let's see how she goes in this issue.
The Good:
I still love reality warping.
Ridley really gets a hang of herself in this issue and I love her agency here. Plus her anxiety and PTSD with Captain Marvel is really well done.
Some interesting plot lines as well with Black Swan.
Pina's art is still working for me.
The Bad:
Nothing.
Conclusion:
A massive increase in quality compared to the last two issues. Things are heating up and I'm loving it.
Snapped back to the real world, Star evades the heroines hunting her and runs into a villain in the form of Black Swan on her way toward an action showdown. This issue's Roosevelt Island flashback is much meatier than past issues, really digging into the friction between Star and Captain Marvel. Continued artistic excellence and some great characterization across the whole cast makes this a great read.
Well I don’t know about you but I am shipping Black Swan and Star.
I'm slightly disappointed by how Captain Marvel is written here, but I think there's only so much you can do. The rest of the issue was a lot of fun.
