Jack Knight continues to grow into the legacy of Starman, encountering old friends and foes of his father along Starman Omnibus: Volume 2 way. As I've said before, the best comics have an underlying theme. Starman has always been about family, with Jack trying to fill the shoes of both his father and dead brother. In this particular volume, Jack continues Starman Omnibus: Volume 2 learn what a lot of us learn as we get older, that our parents were regular people before we were born. This, the second Omnibus, contains StarmanShowcase Jack Knight continues to grow into the legacy of Starman, encountering old friends and foes Starman Omnibus: Volume 2 his father Starman Omnibus: Volume 2 the way. It also contains two of my favorite stories in the whole series, namely the intro of Bobo Benetti, a super-powered bankrobber from the 40's who inadvertently becomes a hero, and the one where Jack teams with Wesley Dodds, the Sandman of the Golden Age. Wesley Dodds handng Jack his gasmask before he goes into battle is probably my favorite sequence in the entire series and almost yanked a man-tear from my dried up ducts. Seriously, Sand and Starman Omnibus: Volume 2 is one hell of a great read. As with the previous volume, the book has gotten even better with age. I caught way more Starman Omnibus: Volume 2 the references this go-round. Robinson does a wonderful job making new characters seem like they were an integral part of the DC Universe for ages. One Starman Omnibus: Volume 2 I didn't mention in the review of the previous volume is how James Robinson played the long game in this series. Starman Omnibus: Volume 2 are planted that won't bear fruit until years later, like Jack's inevitable trip into space and future clash with The Mist Starman Omnibus: Volume 2 their son. Heavyweight stuff, especially considering what everyone else was doing in the s. This is the volume where things really come together for me. Tony Harris' art seems a lot more confident and the look of the series is fully realized, a look that will carry on once Harris leaves the book. James Robinson respects the past without being handcuffed by it. Re-reading this omnibus reminds me why I regard Starman so highly. Five out of five stars. View 2 comments. Mar 12, Randy Lander rated it it was amazing Shelves: dc-superheroesswanky-hardcoversgraphic-novels. After re-reading this recently, I think that this book, only about twenty issues into the series' run, might represent the pinnacle of Starman. Which is not to say that the rest of the run is bad although I am in the camp that views Tony Harris as the definitive Starman artist, even if he wasn't the Starman Omnibus: Volume 2 for the majority of the series' runbut just that I don't know if it ever got as good as the stories in this issue. The "Sand and Stars" arc which showed us the modern day Wesley Dodds and D After re-reading this recently, I think that this book, only about twenty issues into the series' run, might represent the pinnacle of Starman. Robinson tended to be a little too in love with the Golden Age characters in some ways, with a need to "real them up" witness the unfortunate decision to add an extramarital affair for Ted Knight and Black Canarybut with Wes and Dian, that whole vibe really works, given that Seagle and Wagner had given them much the same treatment. One Starman Omnibus: Volume 2 my all-time favorite stories, the Christmas story, is also in this one. It's always brought a tear to my eye, and re- reading it for the fifth or sixth time here had the same effect. Even the Shade stories, which tended to be a little self-indulgent as they went on, were pretty good here. Shade turning down Neron's offer was Starman Omnibus: Volume 2 nice little snap at DC's editorial dictates and one of DC's most underwhelming crossovers and crossover villains. Shade teaming up with Dr. Fate Starman Omnibus: Volume 2 a lot of fun. And Shade being the one left to tell children tales of the dead earth was a great tie-in to another mostly terrible editorial remit, the "Tales of the Dead Earth" annuals. Robinson is one of those writers who generally took an editorial idea that mostly weakened other books, acting as a straightjacket, and used it as a springboard, a writing challenge, to create something different, in line with the theme, but perfectly in line with the book. Though they aren't the only artists represented here, Harris and Von Grawbadger do the bulk of the art, and Starman Omnibus: Volume 2 work here is phenomenal.

The second volume of the Starman Omnibus project, this book contains the material found in the third trade edition Starman: A Wicked Inclinationas well as a number of Tales of Times Pastin which the adventures of Starmen of previous eras are set out. Also included are some entries from the Shade's journal, which appear as a sort of non-illustrated appendix at the rear.

From the four installment Stars and Sand story-arc, in which Jack Knight teams up with Sandman Wesley Dodds, to the classic To Hell and Backin which Jack, the Shade, and Matt O'Dare win free from hell through their willingness to make a selfless sacrifice, most of the material here was already familiar to me. But the genuine emotion that James Robinson manages to evoke - the warm family dynamic of the O'Dares in Christmas Knightthe bittersweet fraternal love in Talking With David, '96 - just reinforced my appreciation for this fine graphic-novel series, which has gradually become my favorite in the genre. I look forward to the upcoming release of the third Omnibus volume, and to learning more about the fascinating Shade. And, once again, I thank my friend Michael for introducing me to the fabulous Starman! May 01, Melki rated it really liked it Shelves: graphic- novel.
