Starfires underground adventure continues as she, Atlee and Stella find themselves all shook up in the kingdom of Strata, where they form bonds before heading back to Key Westwhere things have gotten a little...weird.
While I've waffled back and forth on what it is I really want to get out of this series, this penultimate installment hits a really good sweet spot. Charretier's artwork is spot on and has the right kind of look that fits for this particular type of Kori story. Palmiotti and Conner have had their ups and downs in scripting it but the deep dig on the relationships that exist are a lot of fun. I'll admit that in reading how some of this was playing out I really expected Kori and Atlee to take a dive in the blankets with each other because the two connected so well and it just had that mood through the combination of writing and artwork. This is a very good issue overall and one that works some solid character material across the board. Read Full Review
I enjoyed the scenes of the girls bonding, and definitely liked the big, fun atmosphere of the whole thing. But Stella totally killed the mood by preemptively breaking up Kori and Sol. Read Full Review
For an issue where not much happens, Kory and her friends discuss some big ideas about a hero's friendships and relationships and how those can be effected by the danger her profession can bring. While I'm guessing these connections will likely melt away after the reboot, it's still a solid issue building on this version of the character. Worth a look. Read Full Review
If you like the incessant back-and-forth chatter of the Gilmore Girls or your typical Brian Michael Bendis comic, then this is the book for you. I hope the letterer got overtime for this issue. Worth crowing about is the wonderful artwork, which has a classic look with a modern twist brought by some vibrant colors. Otherwise, this issue was a snorefest that exists primarily as a bridge to the next and final issue in the series, where we just might see boobies! Read Full Review
Fun and heartfelt, pity there is only one more issue, I'm going to miss this book.
I've stuck with this title despite the imminent cancellation, and this is another fun issue. Nothing much happens but so what? I hope DC don't sweep Kori's character developments away at "Rebirth" but I think it's pretty much inevitable.
