ZODIAC STARFORCE: CRIES OF THE FIRE PRINCE #1
When it was announced that a new Zodiac Starforce was coming, we ComiXologists at HQ leapt for joy! The first series was such a triumphantly vibrant and well-made work of art from some of the greatest talents in the industry. The comic community has been starving for more of this super-powered team’s adventures. Lucky for us it’s already here and with all the charm, energy, and down-to-earth life situations needed in the BEST super-powered comics.
It’s been 7 months since Zodiac Starforce took down Diana and the Mean-Girl Minions, thus saving the world from annihilation. Life has resumed for the members of Zodiac Starforce (in no particular order they are Molly, Lily, Savi, Emma, and Kim). The normal everyday lives they lead and all the dramas that come with it have kept on rolling.
Emma is dealing with some stuff that, as she observes (and I completely agree), is totally creepy. Kimberly Rose is top of training to be a professional wrestler, and Savi has a turtle. Everybody is super busy with their lives until new monsters start showing up, because in an abandoned shopping mall hooded chanters are summoning a super-evil and totally hot (fire) demon prince!
It’s so good to have Kevin Panetta and Paulina Ganucheau back together on this highly anticipated new installment of Zodiac Starforce! The world is a little brighter with these two kicking it on a book, and with Jen Bartel doing a variant cover this series reopens like a kick-ass comics lightshow in the stars!!
