I searched the threads and did not see an appreaciation thread for these great characters! Who is your favorite wielder of the cosmic rod?

My favorites are Jack and Courtney. I love how Jack got a happy ending and decided to pass the rod on to Courtney.

My favorite is Stargirl. Growing up she had the rod, so i connected more with her. I've been wanting to read Robinson's Starman for a while. What should I expect from it?

Gorgeous art, some of the best storytelling you'll ever find in a cape book, an amazing cast, and the whole thing is a big love letter to the Golden Age of comics.

It's not perfect, no book is, and I take serious issue with one part in particular, but it's still a brilliant book overall.

I couldn't have said it better myself. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will not want to put this series down until you are finished. Hands down the best series I have ever read!

[Midnighter]

Just checking, is this thread about only one version of Starman or all of them?

Jack and Courtney are awesome either way though.

I intended for this thread to give ALL of them appreaciation! So far only Jack and Courtney have been discussed, and by all means give some love to your favorite!

spoilers:

If it isn't obvious, the part I really took issue with was the killing of the JLE members. Robinson really is at his worst when playing with other people's toys. Do you agree?

end of spoilers

I wouldn't call the series one of my personal favorites, though it's certainly up there, but in terms of pure quality, yeah, very few books top it.

Well that's appealing to me because i always had an infatuation with the golden age.

Jack and Courtney are my favorite members of this Family as well and I love them both, but if told to pick which I prefer, it's Jack, no question.

[Starter Set]

Two pretty cool characters indeed. Haven't read much about them in a long while though.

Maybe it's time for some reading.

I'm only familiar with the most recent JSA All Stars run from about 3 years ago but has this character appeared on Supergirl yet? It seems a perfect fit to me. Maybe leading to a Supergirl team.

Not on Supergirl but she did appear on Legends of Tomorrow season 2 and Smallville.

[Frontier]

Not on Supergirl but she did appear on Legends of Tomorrow season 2 and Smallville.

She was pretty cool on Legends even if she, like the rest of the JSA, didn't get to do that much and felt kind of wasted.

But at least they got the costume right:

That was a great episode! They had a good adaptation in smallville too.
