Starfire #1
- Title: Starfire #1
- Comic Vine: link
- Writers: Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti
- Artist: Emanuela Lupacchino
Starfire is a difficult character to get right (you need look no further than the backlash Red Hood and the Outlaws created). The new series by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti seeks to strike a difficult balance of the sweet yet still highly-sexualized Tamaran princess turned slave turned hero. Going back to basics, the writers embrace Starfire’s fish-out-of-water tendencies used so well on Teen Titans Go! by transporting Starfire to Key West to begin a new life post-Outlaws.
Starfire #1 is quite a fun read. Although there’s nothing all that special about the story of Starfire meeting the local sheriff and a few of the townsfolk, there’s a twinkle in the character’s eye that has been missing in comics for some time. Emanuela Lupacchino’s art certainly helps sell the vivacious character who is equal parts innocent girl and strong woman.
I enjoyed Palmiotti’s work on Ame-Comi Girls (a female-character-driven title I was sad to see disappear for DC’s digital line-up) and the team-up with Conner seems to be a good match. I’m curious to see where the pair and Lupacchino choose to take the character from here. Worth a look.

Inside Out
- Title: Inside Out
- IMDb: link
What’s going on in an 11 year-old girl’s head? That’s the question writers/directors Pete Docter and Ronaldo Del Carmen seek to answer in Inside Out where young Riley (Kaitlyn Dias) is uprooted from her home in Minnesota to San Fransisco without warning causing chaos both inside her mind and in the real world.
In a summer loaded with sequels, franchises, and reboots, Inside Out stands out as refreshingly original. Inside Riley’s mind we meet the aptly named Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), and Disgust (Mindy Kaling) who work in concert to manage Riley’s reaction to any possible situation. When Joy and Sadness get lost in the outer region of Riley’s mind during the most tumultuous time of the young girl’s life Riley’s happiness is put at risk leaving the other three emotions to try their best to keep her on track.
The filmmakers allow the emotions to humorously interact, playing to the younger audience, while using the concept to delve into deeper themes about how a person’s mind works and what happens when something goes wrong.
