Starman: To Reach the Stars (Book 6)

Rating:
Summary: REVELATIONS GALORE!!!
Review: 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.

Summary: A very mixed bag.
Review: This collection is a potpourri of tales involving Jack with Captain Marvel, a jarring crossover that serves neither character well, and tales of the past which all lead to Jack's eventual journey to the stars. This book merely serves as a connecter to a more epic adventure and probably would have worked better if divided among the other collections. As it is the stories barely hold together and leaves you just waiting for the next journey.
