STAR & CAPTAIN MARVEL GET A BLOODY REUNION! Star's been on a journey of self-discovery, and with the help of some unexpected teachers, she has managed to learn more about both herself and the powers of the Reality Stone now bonded to her. She's also still on the run from some of the most dangerous villains in the universe, who will not stop until they wield the Reality Stone themselves. But it's Star's second confrontation with Captain Marvel, the woman who killed her, that will cut the deepest. When the dust settles, what will be left of...anything?

AIPT - David Brooke
May 20, 2020Star is an intriguing character thanks to her turn from evil superhero-turned-villain-composite to a hero who is suffering from trauma. Thompson continues to impress with plotting, clever action and humor, further reminding us she's one of the best superhero writers in the business. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Charles Martin
May 20, 2020Star #4 brings its protagonist into conflict and then collaboration with Captain Marvel. A satisfying amount of backstory is revealed, but questions (and a doozy of a fight) remain for the finale. This chapter upholds the series' reputation for consistent excellence, and it should have no trouble delighting readers of the previous issues. Marvel's plans for the Infinity Stones remain mysterious, but it looks more and more likely that the Star series will go down as one of the first great highlights of the saga. Read Full Review

May 26, 2020Star #4 is full of action and awesome visuals, but it also poses an interesting comparison which finds Star still on uncertain grounds regarding her status as a hero or a villain. Read Full Review

May 20, 2020It's unclear what the future holds for Star once this miniseries comes to a close, but it's proving to be a largely-enjoyable ride for Marvel fans. Read Full Review

May 23, 2020Kelly Thompson continued her amazing story about one of the more popular female characters to come out in the past couple of years. The art team couldn't have done a better job here either. Star is a breakout character ready to take the next step! Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Kellie Keener
Jun 12, 2020While this issue is clearly setting up the conclusion, it doesnt feel like its just a setup. Enough is going on in this issue that it stands on its own as a story. Star has all the makings of a very successful mini-series, and hopefully, issue 5 will stick the landing. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - Jim Werner
May 20, 2020Star is a series that I have enjoyed enough, but this penultimate issue is a fight scene from beginning to end. It does get Captain Marvel and Star on the same side against the Black Order, and the cliffhanger has me intrigued for the finale. This issue isn't a must-read, but if you have enjoyed Star so far, you know what to expect. Read Full Review

Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson
Aug 20, 2020It's an okay issue, but the use of both Captain Marvel as antagonist and the weird, esoteric Black Order as villains makes it all feel very disconnected. Read Full Review

Lots of action in this issue. Captain Marvel vs. Star and then the two team-up against The Black Order. Then, Black Swan's plan-within-a-plan takes center stage. You will not get bored reading this comic! The other issues of this five-issue limited series were good; some were okay. This issue was fantastic! I've been enjoying looking at the psychology of Ripley, who hates Carol Danvers while still emulating her, subconciously. I'm genuinely curious how her trust and confidence issues are going to play into the future of her character. More than anything, the next issue promises to be a great story that leads us into the next Infinity Stones event.

I really enjoyed this. Captain Marvel was written better here.

Prelude: Star was absolutely great last issue, let's see how it goes with this one. The Good: I'm really enjoying Star as a character. Art was good as usual. The Bad: Nothing. Conclusion: It's still a very good issue with no immediate faults, but it's not to the same degree of quality as the last issue.

The Black Order attacks, forcing Star and Captain Marvel to team up. It goes surprisingly well for them -- until the end, when it doesn't. Terrific character work in the script and an interesting plot. The art takes an unfortunate turn halfway through the book, though, and it never quite recovers to the standard set by previous issues.
