Summary: What makes a man a hero?
Review: In this collection Jack Knight starts to assume the role of hero. Whether fighting to free enslaved carnival performers (and in the process meeting another of DC's various Starmen), or meeting the new Mist and running her gauntlet; Jack Knight starts his transformation into a true hero. Not fighting for revenge or glory, he is a hero because it's the right thing to do. That may sound trite to some, but the truly wonderful thing about this character is Robinson's ability to create a superhero that has no agenda other than protecting his city and the people in it. Comic readers often ask themselves," What if a real person became a superhero?" This might be as close as we'll get to the answer.

Summary: Simply Amazing
Review: Okay, if you haven't read Starman, then read this . It is a prime example of "The best written superhero in comics" (Ken Tucker, Entertainment Weekly). If you like superbly written comics with killer art then you need look no further than this. Nothing more can be said except again READ THIS BOO

Summary: Comics get real...
Review: Robinson grabbed the comics world's attention with his ground breaking mini-series The Golden Age, which present highly belived and whell charecterized versions of the charecters of 40s and 50s, be brought them up to date by giving them realistic foibles (The Tarantual becomes an alcholic because he developes writers block, Starman becomes a manic-depressive because of his role building the A-bomb). Shortly there after Starman exploded onto the scene, the story of the latest Starman (the younger son of the one mentioned above) Jack Knight. Whats kept me dumping my cash into this book (aside from the amazing Tony Harris Art) is the fantastic charecterizations, Jack as a person is proably more intresting then most people you know. So go buy Night and Day because I'm pretty sure what happens here has some pretty important ramfications in the up-coming storylines. Then go buy the other two trade-paper backs and then go a comic book store and not only demand back issues but that they hold Starman for you every month, 'casue if you don't they'll be an ass 'kicking!

Summary: A Surprise
Review: Starman is probably the most popular superhero comic book with adults who liked comics when they were kids. If this fits you, read the book. It manages to be a 90's comic book (much more intelligent than they were in your youth) and makes references to comics of the 40's-60's. This is the second collection. Check out the first, Starman: Sins of the Father.

Summary: Great book! Highly recommended!
Review: Starman: Night and Day is a joy to read. It's full of well developed characters in a great story, told in an innovative way. Robinson thought this out very well. It is nothing like the mindless storylines you encounter in most comic books, which seem to me mostly made up as they go along. There is a point to Starman, and it's fun to discover it.Another rare quality in this book is that it can be reread often and still retain much of it's original charm. My only knitpicking critism is that some of the artwork could have been better. But the plot more then makes up for it, and I love the dialog. Check this book out. It won't disappoint.

Summary: Starman is the .....!!
Review: This book took me by surprise. The real believeable aspect of the character was entertaining. The way that James Robinson depicted his character was different in a good way. I can't forget to applaud the new mist, Nash one messed up individual who has a weird love/hate relationship with Jack Knight. I highly recommend it for not only the writing but also the Tony Harris artwork as well. I also suggest you read book 1 for better insight of the character unlike i did.
