Jack Knight, holder of the Cosmic Rod, aka Starman, champion
and defender of Opal City, is back in action, joining up with
the Sandman in order to clear the name of a widow implicated
in her husband's murder...
A
Wicked Inclination collects
together a number of stories including a feel good Christmas
tale which is a little on the sickly side.
Starman
has always intrigued me. He is one of the few real superhero
that doesn't parade around in a skin-tight costume - why exactly
would someone who wanted to be taken seriously dress up with
their underwear on top of their pants? Starman doesn't
dress like an S&M freak with a rubber face mask, he is
what a superhero should really look like.
For
casual observers, however, this collection will not be easy
to get into. And I think this is the collection's main fault.
Titan are not going to be attracting new readers to the Starman
universe with a publication like this - maybe a brief introduction
to his world would have been sufficient.
If
you are tired of costumed freaks then this could well be the
graphic novel for you, but only hardened Starman fans
will be buying this collection. Which is a shame because James
Robinson is a fine writer.
