Jimmy PalmiottiStarfire Vol. 1: Welcome Home (Starfire, 1)

This book was positively a delight. Kori is a cross between her more traditional warrior princess origin with her naive Teen Titans cartoon personality. While there's some monster and alien battles in these stories the main focus is about her trying to fit in (spoiler: she doesn't and its great) with human society and learn about our culture. Starfire is very hedonistic and uninhibited about her sexual desires but its not done in a voyeuristic way like the New 52 title was and honestly its not really a focus of the story. Kori is overjoyed about everything in life from showering outside to renting a shabby trailer with the "flower of Jamaica" on it and then beating up a giant rock demon that eats people.The action is there, but this and the the next book feel more well rounded by balancing that out with Kori forming friendships with others in Key West. The artwork is lovely; I tend not to favor overly stylized artwork and this has a nice feel for me. Plus the visual gags are great. I genuinely laughed out loud multiple times while reading this. I've loved Starfire since the days of Marv Wolfman and George Perez and this is a great addition to her character. Unfortunately this comic was only a 12 issue run and is already over, though it sounds like it was never planned to be more than that. I'm really crushed that Palmiotti and Conner (the team behind the new Harley Quinn comics) didn't keep going with this.

Perhaps you have read some Teen Titans comic books with Starfire or have watched Teen Titans Go! or it’s predecessor Teen Titans. Maybe you’ve seen one or more of the excellent Teen Titans animated movies. Perhaps it’s all of or a combination of the things listed.The point is, if you enjoy this lovable orange alien Princess of Tamaran, you will not be disappointed by this series.The story finds our lovely heroine looking for a new place to live like a “normal “ person. She settles on Key West and immediately makes friends with local Sheriff Gomez and others.Of course, wherever Koriand’r goes, she’s sure to turn heads and find herself helping citizens of her adopted home.Highly enjoyable read with plenty of action, heart and humor. Excellent illustration and good storytelling throughout.

Amanda Conner is among my favorite comic artists, so I'll read just about anything with her name on it, especially if it is accompanied by Jimmy Palmiotti. Starfire tells the kind of fish out of water story that I really like in comics. Here we have an orange alien who looks like a supermodel, has super strength, can fly, and can shoot energy blasts but her big problems are finding a job and an apartment. There are some big action scenes of course, and monsters as well but I'd be okay even without that. The entertainment for me comes from things like Starfire discovering what a cheesesteak is or how to buy groceries.

The duo of Amanda Connor and Jimmy Palmiotti have proven they are a force of nature when it comes to the comic world and Starfire is no exception. Bright and vivid artwork and a fun female empowered story line. This is something I would recommend to teenagers and adults a like!

From the same people that brought you Harley Quinn, Kori finally gets her own series. I loved this book. I secretly hope she gets in a relationship with Stella and Atlee because they're all three so cute together. The writers allow the book to rely on charm, rather than outright in your face humor (compared to Harley Quinn) which really works in it's favor. Starfire is an endearing superhero, something you'd expect in a kind hearted Alien.The great part? It's not even "Geared Towards Women". I don't feel like it was written FOR any specific gender, which is awesome. It's just a great book.There are some super-heroine type stuff going on. But mainly she's just trying to adapt to her new life of trying to blend in and become more human.I think this series is ending soon, which is sad because I really loved it.

Excellent. Great story. Superb artwork with vivid, action packed imagery, and razzle-dazzle coloration. A feast for the eyes for sure. My 9 year old loves it. She was the biggest Teen Titans Go fan and now is transitioning into a tween. Reading is Fundamental (RIF!) Anything that gets her to read I am all for and these graphic novels make it easy.Starfire and Raven are her favorites in the DC Universe and now she gets to follow them starting with this reboot and origin story.

Fun and light story - no darkness of Batman - we watch as an alien girl tries to fit in living on Earth. I especially liked her thought balloons whenever someone said something in casual slang.
