This version feels like a hybrid between the comic book version and the cartoon version, maybe more towards the latter with her distinctive speech patterns. This is essentially a two-person drama in a lot of ways, with Starfire getting a more thorough focus than she has in a while. She’s a sullen, sarcastic goth who is muddling her way through high school and constantly fending off people who just want to know about her mother-who is still an active Titan.
This book will definitely be divisive, because it grounds its story not just in one character, but in an original character-Mandy Koriand’r, the almost-seventeen-year-old daughter of Starfire, who has none of her mom’s powers, none of her looks, and none of her bubbly attitude. Add in Mariko Tamaki, one of the hottest writers in the industry, and Yoshi Yoshitani, the artist of the popular all-ages Zatanna graphic novel released recently, and you’ve got a very intriguing comic-with one of the oddest concepts to come out of DC’s OGN line. Ray: So this book has gotten a lot of attention before release from some of the worst elements on the internet, and when that’s the case I usually want to support the project. I Am Not Starfire – Mariko Tamaki, Writer Yoshi Yoshitani, Artist Ray – 8/10
