JSA Presents: Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. #2
This second volume of JSA Presents: Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. continues the adventures of the teenage superhero Stargirl and her stepfather, the former sidekick Pat Dugan, who pilots the armored suit known as S.T.R.I.P.E. Collecting issues from the 1999 series, the stories pit the duo against a mix of classic and new threats while exploring Stargirl's legacy as a member of the Justice Society of America. The volume also features guest appearances from other JSA members, tying the solo adventures into the larger DC Universe tapestry.
In "A Chilly Day in Opal," Geoff Johns crafts a taut, character-driven chapter of JSA Presents: Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. as the Star-Spangled Kid, S.T.R.I.P.E., and the Shining Knight stand together against Shiv and the Dragon King’s forces. With dynamic art by Lee Moder and Dan Davis, the story builds momentum as Pat formally bestows the legacy title upon Courtney, setting the stage for a daring pursuit to the Dragon King’s hidden lair—where a chilling new threat to American youth is revealed. The cover by Lee Moder and Dan Davis captures the moment’s tension with striking precision.
