Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

The second collection of the 1990s Starman comic shows the creators hitting their stride, establishing elements that would become hallmarks of the series: reluctant young hero Jack Knight’s growing confidence in the role of Starman he inherited from his father, flashbacks to 1940s adventures of his predecessor, and stories incorporating the various other superheroes who have operated under the Starman rubric. While the groundbreaking Watchmen (1986) opened the door earlier to other superhero tales set in a world recognizably our own, Starman eschewed that series’ knowing cynicism in favor of the moving coming-of-age story of an idealistic young man learning how to be a hero.

Another great Omnibus

If you've read the first volume know this one is just as great. If you've never read starman go back and get the first volume and this one both because you will want to keep reading more about Opal City's hero Starman and his adventures.

First volume consisted of two great arcs. This one has two arcs too, but they are shorter and not so great as for me. Also to me it has too many filler issue coming from Showcase and other such publications.

All Hail Starman!

This is my favorite comic book of all time. These omnibus editions are superb. The design, the quality of paper, and the content make it worth the price. Especially when you buy it from Amazon and it knocks off about twenty bucks from the retailer's price.

You get several awesome stories and beautiful art on high-quality glossy paper. I usually like the odd, cheap newsprint paper but with a comic like this it is better served by the glossy paper. The artwork really shines with the higher quality paper.

Good luck getting this at a good price but it's worth it. Too bad they cancelled the rest of the soft covers. Robinson's saga is up there with the great runs in comic history.

excellent stuff

A little of Starman Omnibus Vol 2 is connected to larger DC happenings, like the Neron cameo, but most of it is pure old-school comics fun.

The art is only getting better from the last volume, and Robinson obviously loves the characters a great deal. I found it intelligent, beautiful, and a fast exciting read.
