Star #5 delivers a powerful and explosive finale, laying the groundwork for a thrilling new character to be unleashed into the Marvel Universe. Read Full Review
This is a good ending to a series that further proves Star needs to exist and continue on in the Marvel universe. Thompson and company have done an excellent job making me want to learn more about this character and see her change and evolve. She's a complex character that may not make the same choices as the heroes, but that's sort of the point. Read Full Review
Star #5 is bold, brash, and unafraid to tell a tale about a woman suffering " while simultaneously growing stronger. Accompanied by brilliant artwork, Star's story is unforgettable. Read Full Review
Star #5 may be the end of this miniseries; its not the end for Star. As long as Reality Stone is bonded with Ripley Ryan, shes sure to pop up again in the larger Marvel universe. Read Full Review
Star #5 crafts a satisfying (if unsurprising) end to Ripley Ryan's story. It leaves the door wide open for future tales of the Infinity Stones and their unlikely new wielders. At present, this issue and this series might fly beneath the radar of people who aren't Captain Marvel or Kelly Thompson fans. But I suspect that when the next Infinity Whatsis takes shape, Star will stand out as one of the best bits of groundwork laid for it. Read Full Review
Star #5 was a fitting end to the first mini series for a new character. Kelly Thompson knows this character well, and will make us love her sooner or later. The pencils and colors are the cherry on top of the issue that makes it stand out further. Star is a hero we need to see more of! Read Full Review
The ultimate problem with this issue is that it takes the Black Order and reduces it down to a family. Having a super villain team that is also a family is not a new concept. It is however not necessary with a team as heartless and interesting as the Black Order has already been. Trying to create sympathy for some of the coolest villains in the Marvel universe is unnecessary. Some villains can just be villains. They can be extraordinary in their brand of evil, they do not have to be ordinary in their love for each other. Read Full Review
Fans will hopefully be satisfied with how this miniseries wraps up"and what it means for Ripley's future in the Marvel universe. Read Full Review
This was a disappointing finale to a mini-series that I was looking forward to reading. Everything felt rushed here to put the pieces into place for what is coming next for Star, but with that, Kelly Thompson never got to expand on her character fully. Maybe I expected too much. Read Full Review
Star finally gets tired of getting handled by the heroes, instead cutting her own deal with the Black Order. It's a sinister birth of a new villain, but Star's received enough attention throughout the miniseries (and here at the end) to make her decisions understandable and even a little sympathetic. Besides an insightful character study, it's also a pretty action-packed fight comic -- good stuff all around.
This was a nice ending. I hope they don't ruin Star with bad guest appearances.
I still enjoyed this but I was looking for something more that I didn’t quite get.
