I had I Am Not Starfire on my radar for quite a while, and it did not disappoint! In any case, I have always been a huge fan of Mariko Tamaki’s work and seeing that Tamaki was writing a Starfire comic, I was over the moon. I want to say Starfire was my favorite character, but pretty much every character was my favorite. Review: I didn’t watch many cartoons as a kid, and I’m definitely making up for lost time now, but one of the shows I managed to watch on the sly was Teen Titans. I Am Not Starfire is a story about mother-daughter relationships, embracing where you come from while finding your own identity, and learning to be unafraid of failing, if it was even failing in the first place. Claire seems to like Mandy for being Mandy, not the daughter of Starfire.īut when someone from Starfire’s past comes to disrupt Mandy’s future, Mandy must finally make a choice: give up before the battle has even begun, or step into the unknown and risk everything. But when she is partnered with Claire to work on a school project, their friendship develops into something more and a self-confidence unknown to Mandy begins to bloom.
While Mandy continues to tell Lincoln her plans of moving to France to escape the family spotlight and not go to college, she secretly hides a fear of not knowing her identity outside of just being the daughter of a superhero and who she will become. And while Mandy usually avoids spending too much time with her alien mother, she’s been particularly quiet as she’s keeping one major secret from her: Mandy walked out of her S.A.T. Dyeing her bright orange hair black and sticking close to her best friend, Lincoln, Mandy spends her days at school avoiding Teen Titans superfans and trying to hide her feelings for the gorgeous, popular, and perfect Claire. Daughter of Starfire and high school outcast, Mandy is constantly trying to get out from under the shadow of her bright, bubbly, scantily clad, and famous mother.
Seventeen-year-old Mandy Koriand’r is not her mother. Summary: From New York Times bestselling author Mariko Tamaki (Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me, Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass) and artist Yoshi Yoshitani (Zatanna and the House of Secrets) comes a story about Mandy, the daughter of super-famous superhero Starfire, and her desperate attempts to get out from under her shadow. Creator: Mariko Tamaki, Yoshi Yoshitani (Illustrator)
