Starfire #2

The second issue of this 2015 DC series finds Koriand'r front and center in her vibrant purple costume, flame-red hair whipping in what looks like storm winds, with a colorful macaw perched right on her shoulder — a surprisingly charming detail against a backdrop of storm-battered buildings and uprooted trees. Amanda Conner's cover art captures a wonderful tension between Starfire's wide-eyed alertness and the oddly endearing presence of her feathered companion amid the chaos. With a story titled "Hot Tropic" and the creative team of Conner, Palmiotti, Lupacchino, McCarthy, and Hi-Fi behind it, this issue promises the breezy yet adventurous tone that makes this run such a treat.
