The Great Marvel Readthrough, pt 191

[Seizure Romero · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was a bit nostalgic re-reading a few of the comics in this collection, but overall it's not very cohesive. The 'Starforce' of the title are essentially bit players in one or two of the original issues, only two of the stories are directly sequential, and it generally looks like a slapped-together collection to capitalize on the movie release. Extra star for the old school Jack Kirby and Gene Colan artwork.
