I Am Not Starfire

Mariko Tamaki and Yoshi Yoshitani bring a fresh perspective to the DC universe with I Am Not Starfire (2021–present), a standalone comic that reimagines the Teen Titans legacy through the eyes of a teen who is decidedly not her superhero mother. This single-issue story centers on Mandy, the daughter of Starfire, as she navigates her own identity and powers in the shadow of her famous parent. Tamaki’s grounded, character-driven writing paired with Yoshitani’s vibrant, storybook-style art creates an intimate and visually striking exploration of family, expectation, and self-discovery. It’s a thoughtful, standalone addition to DC’s lineup that resonates with anyone who has ever felt out of place in a legacy.
