I know, another post! I'm on a roll! Okay, so on NCBD (New Comic Book Day) I picked up the 1st issue of a comic titled "Star". I liked the cover art, it was a female on the cover, and I flipped through it and was impressed with the art. Good art will sell me a comic every time.

I got it home and learned it tied in with Captain Marvel. The wife is completely up-to-date on Captain Marvel, which I believe is on issue 12, and I'm on like, issue 4. I didn't realize how tied in it was, but T (My wife) explained to me later that it was a big tie-in.
Star's real name is Ripley Ryan.
It was a solid read, good writing and fantastic art. Kelly Thompson is the writer and let me tell you kids, there's nothing she has written that I haven't loved. She's a super duper comic writer. In fact, I had no idea how many things she had written that I had picked up and loved until I did a little research. Her run on Jem & the Holograms, Mr. and Mrs. X with Rogue and Gambit, and of course, Captain Marvel.
I definitely want to read issue 2.
I highly recommend picking up the last 12 issues, or at least the TP (Trade paperback) of Captain Marvel by Kelly Thompson, but you can pick up Star issue 1 right now. It does a great job of filling you in on what happened to get the character to were she is when issue 1 starts, so you don't really feel lost or like you have to read Captain Marvel.
Oh, and did I mention she has an Infinity stone lodged inside her chest?
Thanks for stopping by.
Keep reading!
