DC Comics
Script: Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti
Pencils: Emanuela Lupacchino
Inks: Ray McCarthy
I'd heard good things about this title on the iFanboy podcast, that it was quirky and good natured and fun. They weren't wrong. This is a really nice, fun comic title with a pleasingly straightforward story which isn't bogged down with continuity or forced involvement in a crossover or anything.
Starfire is drawn in a typically sexy superheroine manner, but it's never gratuitous, instead having an edge of Cheesecake. The story of the issue is essentially Starfire rescuing people from a storm, but there are some sweet little character moments which give the action some depth.
The human characters are well realised and add some grounding to the tale. I would expect nothing less from Conner and Palmiotti. Lupacchino's pencils are kinetic and stylish, refined further by McCarthy's inks. A proper comic book. Marvellous.
8/10
