James Robinson's conclusion to his Starheart story arc isn't bad, it's just a bit odd.All the players sort of return to their pre-story status quo except for Jade and Obsidian, who can't get near each other without transforming into some evil combo-thing. It's an odd choice, but I'm ok with letting the characters breathe on their own for a bit. It's also interesting that Jade seems to have completed her White Lantern task; she's gets her life back (permanently?) as a reward for balancing out Obsidian's evil. I suppose that means this is no longer a Brightest Day tie-in book.
There are a few good character moments (like Kyle swooping away with Obsidian) and some odd ones (Hourman sure comes off as needy to Jesse Quick). I can't complain about the final product though. Robinson didn't kill anyone and he did a nice job putting some 2nd-string characters in the spotlight.
As near as I can tell, the JLA is now Nightbats, Wonder Donna, Jesse Quick, Jade, Supergirl, Congo Bill, and Starman. Are Cyborg and Red Tornado still on the team?
Mark Bagley's art is still a nice fit. His Hourman and Wildcat look darn similar, but that's ok, Wildcat has more stubble.
Fair
