Matt and Mike Read Comics Episode 12: Starman Part 1

Matt and Mike are back after the holiday break and we are still reading comics! On episode 12 we start our multi-part breakdown of the legendary 90’s run of Starman, by James Robinson and Tony Harris. Collecting almost 100 issues and reinventing the character for a new generation, Robinson crafts the story of a reluctant hero who has superheroing in his blood. Jack Knight’s father, Ted Knight, was the first Starman decades ago, a member of the Justice Society with such legends as Jat Garrick, the first Flash, and Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern. Listen to us unpack the story of Jack Knight and his cast of supporting characters, such as the amoral Shade, the villainous Mist, and the crazy O’Dare family of cops.
