Wandering Star October 1, 1998
WANDERING STAR, one of the most highly acclaimed science fiction graphic novels in comics history, is finally collected into three complete volumes. The story follows Cassandra, daughter of the President of the United Nations. When she succeeds in becoming the first earthling to attend the Galactic Academy Cassandra realizes that Earth is definitely not the most esteemed planet in the galaxy. Seeking refuge from the constant persecution of her classmates, Cassandra meets the team of outcasts constructing the Wandering Star, a prototypical spaceship built for the Alliance. When the Alliances old enemy, the Bono Kiro, launch their attack on the Galactic Alliance, Cassandra and her new friends barely escape in the Wandering Star. As they regroup and debate how to overcome this devastating threat, Commander Narz and his army continue to destroy one planet after another...

Review

"Simply one of the best SF comics ever written." -- Overstreet's Fan Magazine

"Wood's science-fiction series shows her clear vision of story and character - and excellent ability to delineate both." -- Comics Buyers Guide

About the Author

Starting her sci-fi comic series WANDERING STAR in 1994, Teri Sue Wood faced immediate cynicism; according to critics, the realm of science fiction just did not sell in the comic book market at the time. However, Wood soon won over a large fan base with her engaging characters and cinematic storytelling, regardless of the negative rap. Besides her work on this series, Wood has constructed a new horror/fantasy comic called DARKLIGHT, and draws a comic strip aimed at the comics industry itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heart Places among the Stars...., April 2, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Wandering Star, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
"There are places in my mind I can go to, if I want to remember heart places, mixed with dreams and bits of me long gone. Locked behind my eyes, so real they should exist..." ~Casi in Wandering Star~

I received this graphic novel as a present from a dear friend, and was completely enthralled by its intriguing storyline and its believable, compelling characters. Told in flashback, the story centers around Casandra, the daughter of the President of the United Nations and the first human admitted to the Galactic Academy.

Here, she finds herself scorned, ignored, and taunted as the representative of a "warlike and barbarous species." When a particular taunting turns into an ugly confrontation, she is rescued by Madison, the "psychic guy" being examined by Academy scientists.

Despite his dislike of contact, Casi forges a friendship with him, along with his mentor, Graikor, who becomes like a big brother to her as well, and Elli, the energy being, who helps to power the spacecraft they are building, the Wandering Star.

A simple test cruise designed to perk Casi up takes the friends away from the Academy just before a Bono Kiro attack, and Casi's worse tormentor, Mekon, suffers a devastating loss, giving him a glimpse of the dangers of apathy.

The Bono Kiro have returned. War is on again, and the Wandering Star becomes a flagship in the new battle for freedom.

Any fan of well-written science fiction or fantasy, as well as those who enjoy graphic novels, should pick up this trilogy immediately. It's well worth the cost, and will stay on your shelf of favorites for a long time to come!
