Commentary Containing Books Rising Stars, Vol. 1: Born in Fire (Rising Stars #1)

Fun story with a decent plot; some of the twists it takes to get the main story going are a bit too much to believe but I'm curious to see how it'll end.

A very nice comic. The artwork is fine, nothing particularly special, but JMSs writing is top-notch here. He constructs an interesting premise and a wide array of characters who have special powers caused by a mysterious event a couple of decades ago. Then he mixes it all up with a murder mystery and conspiracy. It makes for compelling reading. I especially like the way that JMS handled the fates of certain of the lesser-powered characters most comics only focus on the supers who have powers

This was very impressive. This was published in 2000, right around the time comics shifted from being a bunch of pretty art to really good stories.You have an asteroid (for lack of a better term) that strikes a town and gives all of the in utero children superpowers when they are born. However, as they get older their powers start to fade. One of them then determines that everytime one of them dies, their power is distributed among the survivors. So he begins to murder his fellow heroes.

The concept, execution and art of Rising Stars is damn good. We get a group of super powered individuals who discover the more of their fellow super powered rivals are illed, the stronger the rest of them become. I remember this book making quite an impact on the comic book industry when it first came and it's easy to see why.I've read quite a few of the critiques of Rising Stars, which accuse Straczynski of trying to go for too much of a gritty Frank Miller vibe... Which is quite unfair, I

3.5 stars. This one is smack dab in the middle of 3 and 4 stars. I really liked the overall concept of the story which deals with 113 humans who, after a freak event while they were in the womb, are born with special powers and become known as...are you ready for it...."Specials." Each of the Specials has different powers (some standard super hero stuff like strength, flight, healing, invulnerability, pyrokinesis, etc.) and some more interesting ones (for example, one person can enter anothers

Highlander meets The Boys. There's something about JMS' ideas and themes that always pull at the tragically heroic heartstrings, making a silver age homage such a good fit.There are two things that throw me a bit off this book: 1) JMS is doing a lot of exposition--which is fine--but it's done via walls of text on panel. It would be find here and there but the density slows you down. I almost wonder if this is where a more crafty letterer could have found a better way to present the same amount

Irredeemable is my favorite comic ever, bar none. I'm pleased to see that Straczynski of all people was doing something similar a few years earlier. I'll always really respect the work he did on B5, even if it was cheesy sometimes--serialized TV with a start, middle, and end planned. Sheridan was a real boy scout, since this was before serialization, and before the real rise of the anti-hero.This isn't about B5, but it made me think I'd like to check out JMS's original series, because I bet he
