☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects issues #38–47 of the original Starman series, along with the Starman Secret Files & Origins one-shot, as part of DC's comprehensive hardcover Omnibus line. It continues Jack Knight's journey as the cosmic-rod-wielding hero, delving deeper into the legacy of the Starman mantle and the intricate mythology of Opal City. The collection also includes the Starman: The Mist one-shot, tying up threads from earlier arcs and setting the stage for the series' conclusion.
In "City without Light (A Prelude to Bad Times)," the shadows of Opal grow heavier as Ted Knight and the Shade reflect on the shifting tides since Jack Knight’s departure. With the O'Dares tightening their grip and old allies like Bobo Benetti and Commissioner Woo caught in the crossfire, a spectral whisper from the Black Pirate reaches Sadie Falk—seeking Jack, but not for peace. As the city teeters on the edge of chaos, a single death sends ripples through the underworld, hinting at darker days ahead.
In "Starman Blues: Stars My Destination, Part One," Jack Knight and Mikaal Tomas embark on a mysterious journey that takes them far beyond known space, driven by a purpose tied to their shared past. When Mikaal suffers a disturbing nightmare that fractures their ship’s controls, they’re forced to make an emergency landing on a remote blue planet—only to be ambushed by the relentless Solomon Grundy.
In "Fighting with Grundy; Talking with David '99," Starman [Jack Knight] clashes with Solomon Grundy and his eerie, animated duplicates of the Justice Society, while a quiet moment unfolds between David Knight and Mikaal Tomas. As the Mother Box guides their ship through the void, the tension builds—both in battle and in conversation—before a sudden interception looms from Star Boy.
In "Starman, FBI Agent," the hero Starman is called in by a group posing as FBI agents to track down the criminal Carmichael "Melter" Manning—only to discover they’re not who they claim to be, and that his own involvement with the real FBI complicates the mission in unexpected ways.
In "null," a young Star-Spangled Kid and S.T.R.I.P.E. team up with Starman to face the new Icicle during a field trip in Opal City, while Ted Knight’s memories drift back to a pivotal moment when he once wielded his cosmic rod alongside the original Star-Spangled Kid, Sylvester Pemberton, to battle the first Icicle. The past and present collide as legacy and duty intersect in a story that weaves personal history into the ongoing fight for justice.
