![]() In lieu of describing a past or present problem, they offer up new challenges the team has to face.įor me, though, the strongest part of "Zodiac Starforce" #1 is the artwork. When the girls act as a team, it's easier to see their distinct personalities come out, and both of these scenes focus on the present and future. However, both the beginning and ending of the issue are strong. The girls also spend most of the issue at a relatively uneventful party - a device meant to introduce the team in a casual setting, but one that also adds to the feeling that the reader is being told rather than shown. Plenty of the details that are revealed in issue #1 would have landed with more impact in a later issue since I don't know any of the characters yet, their backstories felt more like data than part of an arc. As a result, the issue feels slower and exposition-heavy in the middle. ![]() That sort of information doesn't mean much emotionally to a new reader, and it doesn't necessarily help the creative team set up for any exciting action to come. ![]() When the story opens, the Zodiac Starforce has been disbanded for a while and, as a result, a good chunk of the issue is spent on exposition. ![]()
