5.0 out of 5 stars Fun
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2023
Verified Purchase
It's a bulky book, but it contains about half of the entire Starman comic and associated titles. Robinson tried to create a mythology and long lasting stable of characters similar to Sandman, which was somewhat the style of the time. My only real complaint is that reading the issues back to back to back like this displays a certain amount of repetition of information. There is also a lot of pop culture references in the first issues and that is annoying, but it thins out as the series continues. It is a very 90s book, with a 90s look, but I still think its fun and is worth it for the price offered.

I see why it's a renowned comic of the 90s DC era. It's a great take on legacy as Jack comes into his own as the current Starman and gains an appreciation for the history of Starman.

For those who missed the omnibuses, at least comes a new collected edition of the celebrated James Robinson Starman series from DC, and man, is it a treat! I had tried to follow the series when it was originally being printed in the monthlies, but still missed some of the regular issues as well as the tie-ins. This huge volume collects them all. Reproduction is very good; crisp, clear and great color. Well worth the price!

4.0 out of 5 stars Most affordable way to collect a fantastic series in physical format.
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2021
Verified Purchase
If you're interested in this series, you probably already know that the writing and artwork is top notch, so I don't need to sell you on the content.

So, regarding the format:
Pros: There is no more affordable way to get this series in a physical format. The printing quality is quite good.
Cons: A book this size is going to get beaten up. Any use, any reading, anything short of putting it on your shelf and never getting it out will put wear and tear on it. It's truly massive in size.

If you are a collector that wants pristine copies of your comics, which is perfectly fine, this is not the product for you. Save up and track down the old hard copy collections that are expensive as heck, but are more durable.

If you want a reading copy of a fantastic series, that won't break the bank, and you can accept that it's going to show wear and tear along the way, this is what you've been waiting for.

I will be ordering the second volume as soon as it is available.

For me, the greatest DC universe title of all time! Make sure to buy a copy so we get compendium two! I’d also love to see Peyer and Morales ‘hourman’ come out. It would make for a great companion book to ‘Starman.’

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest underlooked comics from the 90s/00s.
Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2024
First off, the book is paperback, but it's HUGE. And sadly, the binding is god awful and fell apart very quickly. One that score, it's a one star. But...

The book and the story and especially the first few arcs this story contains are incredible. This IS a cult classic comic, with very mature and very intelligent writing. The star of the book is Star Man, but the real star of the book is Opal City, and it's mysterious caretaker, the Shade (and if you buy this and vol 2, do yourself a favor and look for the Shade mini-series as well, a great companion for these). This is how to make a comic about people and characters first, super powers and fist fights second. It's very good and despite having great artists, the story shines through so much. Those of you who watched the CW show Stargirl, this is the SAME staff(which later went to her in the comics). It is not only worth your time, but rewards you for all the attention to details, choices made early come back to haunt everyone, and the city lives and breathes to make Gotham put to shame. Buy this, knowing the weak binding, and enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Starman Retorna em Grande Popa! A espera do outro Compendium!
Reviewed in Brazil on October 5, 2021
Verified Purchase
Primeiramente devo salientar que esse Review é do material encadernado e não do Roteiro e Desenhos dessa incrível HQ.
A encadernação desse material está ótima. Ele é diretamente colado, mas não tem solta de cola quando lê. Dá pra ver todas as imagens facilmente. Sua abertura na mesa se sustenta sozinha e, apesar de assustar aos olhos de alguns, está muito seguro.
Fiz somente um "cadê" improvisado pra pôr na estante, porque senti que as páginas pesadas fariam com que o encadernado se abrisse se colocado em pé. Para quem não tem esse problema, indico colocar ele deitado na estante. Não é bonito nem charmoso, mas é uma opção mais segura a longo prazo.
Comparado a outros compendium, esse é o melhor para ler. De longe.

Espero que um dia esse material chegue inteiramente em território nacional também.

A good read. For lovers of golden age heroes as much as modern age. A good well paced read. With a few twists along the way. Every inch, the reluctant hero leads from Earth into into space to find what happened to the previous Star men. Good character development along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed this quiet often overlooked epic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un capolavoro
Reviewed in Italy on February 1, 2023

Se ve la cavate con l'inglese i due compendium dello Starman di James Robinson sono un acquisto obbligato, specie se amate le run supereroistiche di altissimo livello o il fumetto tout court: contengono tutto, ma proprio tutto quello che l'autore, in stato di grazia, ha scritto sul personaggio e i suoi indimenticabili comprimari, su tutti The Shade. Per il prezzo poi è davvero un ottimo acquisto: in totale entrambi i compendium arrivano a quasi 3000 pagine, il prezzo è onesto, il formato non è scomodissimo da leggere, specie rispetto a un omnibus (in questo caso è flessibile). Robinson, con l'aiuto in questo primo volume di Tony Harris, rinfresca il mito del supereroe classico collocandolo in un quadro di riferimento più adulto ma non per questo meno avventuroso, con richiamo metanarrativi mai fastidiosi ed evitando l'equazione "violenza=temi adulti". Le storie mischiano un po' di tutto, dal pulp all'omaggio alla golden age per arrivare a storie nello spazio o horror, senza mai perdere di mordente. Opal City diventa un personaggio a sè, con le sue architetture tra il vittoriano e l'art deco. In un certo senso ricorda sotto altri aspetti la Gotham della splendida serie animata di Batman degli anni '90: è fuori dal tempo e il suo fascino è dato dal fatto che non somiglia a nessun'altra città dell'universo DC. In effetti Starman stesso vive nel passato - è il lavoro di Jack Knight vendere oggetti antichi - e questo lo rende uno dei supereroi più particolari mai usciti dalle varie revisioni DC. Un capolavoro.
