☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together issues from the 2002 Starman series, focusing on the legacy of the Starman mantle. The story follows a new character taking up the cosmic staff and the challenges that come with it, set against the backdrop of DC's superhero universe. It's a standalone arc that explores themes of heroism and inheritance within the Starman mythos.
In "City Without Light (A Prelude to Bad Times)," James Robinson and Steve Yeowell craft a moody, character-driven chapter as Ted and the Shade reflect on the shifting power dynamics in Opal following Jack's departure. The arrival of the Black Pirate’s ghost adds a haunting layer to Sadie’s growing unease, while the sudden death of a key underworld contact and Commissioner Woo sets a grim tone for the city’s unraveling. Tony Harris’s evocative cover captures the weight of impending darkness.
In "City Without Light (A Prelude to Bad Times)," Jo and Ted navigate the shifting shadows of Opal as Jack’s absence leaves a void filled by the O'Dares, Bobo, and Commissioner Woo. When Sadie encounters the ghost of the Black Pirate seeking Jack, the city’s secrets begin to surface—just as a deadly end for one of Jack’s contacts and a chilling moment for Woo signal that darker days are ahead.
In "Starman Blues: Stars My Destination Part One," Jack and Mikaal journey through the cosmos, their bond tested as memories of the past surface. When Mikaal suffers a nightmare that cripples their ship, they crash-land on a small blue planet, only to face a sudden and brutal attack from Solomon Grundy.
In "Fighting with Grundy; Talking with David '99," Jack faces off against Grundy and his army of animated Justice Society duplicates, while David shares a quiet moment with Mikaal aboard the ship. As the Mother Box unleashes its power to destroy Grundy, the journey continues—only to be cut short by the sudden arrival of Star Boy.
