Summary
This is issue #3 of DC Comics' Starfire series launched in 2015, the third single issue of the run written by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti with Emanuela Lupacchino as lead artist. The story picks up from the first two issues: the alien princess Koriand'r (Starfire) has moved to Key West, Florida, only for a hurricane to upend her life. In this issue, with Sheriff Stella Gomez's permission, Kori moves into the little house in the sheriff's backyard and helps the Gomez family clean up their storm-damaged home, all while trying to understand human daily life in her own alien way. Meanwhile, a cruise ship rescues a mysterious person from the water, and bizarre murders begin occurring aboard; a cruise ship that has lost contact heads toward Key West, and Kori and the sheriff board it to investigate, only to find the crew brutally killed. On the island, the superhero Atlee, working as a waitress, is also being tracked by a monster from underground, and Kori and Atlee team up as a result. Titled "Land and Sea," this issue continues the light, humorous everyday-comedy tone while adding a darker, more suspenseful superhero thread.
Editor's review
《Starfire》2015 系列是 DC 将红发外星公主科丽安单独立传的一次轻松化尝试:把一位能飞、能扛大力、能发能量的女子放进基韦斯特这样一个小镇式海边城市,让她在超市、酒吧、泳池边闹出无数“外星人看地球”的笑话。本册是全系列节奏转换的一期——前两期的都市生活喜剧继续保留,同时第一次把动作与恐怖元素正经地引入:游轮凶案、地下怪物、新英雄阿特莉的登场,让故事在可爱之外多了一层悬念。Emanuela Lupacchino 的画风干净明快,角色表情生动,尤其擅长表现科丽的天真与直率;Palmiotti 与 Conner 一贯擅长的日常对话,也让配角形象立得住。作为系列第 3 册,它既适合想收齐单期的收藏者,也适合在通读全卷时用来观察叙事由轻向重的过渡。
