The Good
Virgil and his mother get great characterization and to a minor extent his sister. Virgil comes across as the insecure friend you had in high school he feels the need to hide his inadequacy with constant jokes and one liners. There was good action and the art seemed to match the tone of the story and the overall style of the dakotaverse.
Overall for a first issue the story was adequate it gave us the titular star and his powers, a love interest, a secret identity to hide all while balancing school. Good read but not the best McDuffie tale I’ve read thus far.
The Bad
Move a few tings around and this could easily be a black Spiderman tale nothing wrong with that I’m just saying it’s pretty similar. I’m realizing an overall style in the dakotaverse that is really not my thing.
The Ugly
2.75/5 for an average read saved by good characterization
