DC Universe Presents Starfire (#18)

From Evernote:

DC Universe Presents Starfire (#18)



3 / 5

Much like last month's DCU Presents Arsenal, issue 18 is a one-shot story about Starfire, which is supposed to give us more insight into her personality. Unlike last month's issue, however, we don't get very much of it. Starfire's story revolves around being prisoner on a giant prison barge in space. It's so large that there are independent habitats that look and feel like small planet landscapes. She finds herself in a village of primitive people who are put at risk by her presence. Unfortunately, very little is really brought to the table that seemed particularly significant to me. It would have been nice to address some of the personality quirks that were introduced early on in her reinvention for the series. It might also have been nice to take a closer look at her early days on Earth. The story we get instead is kind of ho-hum. There's really nothing wrong with it at all, there's just nothing particularly enticing about it either. Take it or leave it. There's nothing special happening here.
