REVELATIONS GALORE!!!
5. Mai 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
The climax nears. This book, the sixth compilation of James Robinson's alternative cutting edge quasi super hero series-Starman, is the turning point of the series. This book in my opinion provides the best read since Sins of the Father, Robinson and artist Tony Harris' first story arc. The characterization, mood and most especially the big revelations spotlighted in this collection is worth the price. Though not printed in glossy paper, like the first three compilations, and a little more espensive than the other books, the last story arc of original creators Robinson and Harris makes it really worth it. This thing elevates James Robinson among the elite comic writers up there with Chris Claremont, Alan Moore, John Byrne, Peter David, etc. Definitely a must have for DC, Golden Age (for Jack's roots)and JSA fans alike.

The modern comic book heroes are refreshing
4. April 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
One of the simplest ways to plot the changes in society over time is to examine how comics have changed. The super heroes of the fifties and sixties were powerful and for the most part pure as a fresh snowfall. They rarely expressed self-doubt and their love life was almost platonic. Furthermore, the portrayal of alternative lifestyles was absolutely forbidden. In this book, a modern comic version of several of the heroes of decades ago, most of those past taboos are ignored.
The main character is a next generation Starman and he is human all the way. He has a girlfriend and they are sexually involved, showing a great deal of skin. The original Starman and his female sidekick Black Canary are portrayed as being married, although not to each other, and are having an affair. The current Starman is also filled with self-doubt and when a retired hero (Bulletman) is accused of treason, his task is to delay Captain Marvel until the evidence can be found that will clear Bulletman of the accusations. While the battle is an epic one, it is very much a modern one. Even though he is winning, Captain Marvel ends the fight, realizing that he is on the wrong side, after all there is a sense of community among the superheroes.
At the end, the current Starman and others blast off into space, looking for Starman's brother. Along the way there are cameo appearances by the members of the Justice League of America, an explicit depiction of a male homosexual relationship and a reappearance of Nazis. While some people may decry the changes as a loss of values, I enjoyed the changes very much. In an era of extreme sex and violence in all areas of entertainment, this book depicts the complex world that we live in. The days of any entertainment figure being clean and pure are gone and in many ways, that fact makes my happy. The current heroes are much more interesting.
