Zodiac Starforce #1

First off, this was nothing short of probably the most adorable graphic novel I’ve ever read. Secondly, I love magical girls, always and forever. Thirdly, I never knew I needed magical zombie girls until now, but it turns out I did. Fourth, the color pallet and art throughout this entire story is beyond words beautiful. And lastly, this showcases how girl friendship can be the most powerful magical force in the world, and I loved this.Oh, and this is about magical girls who all embrace a different zodiac sign. Like, can I yell how perfect this is any louder? This story embraces and celebrates body diversity, ethnic variety, and multiple sexualities! Like, there was a text message in this using the pan hearts and I promise you that I was hollering over it for at least fifteen minutes.I loved this! I loved how unconditional friendship was always at the forefront. I loved all the diversity (Molly is Asian, Lily is Black, Emma is for sure not white at the very least, Savi is a bi/pan main character, and Lily is a lesbian/bi/pan main character)! I also loved the constant portrayal of grief from Emma. I will always love seeing girls ditch abusive boys and getting with sweet girls, let’s be real. And this was nothing short of a treat to read! Also, it feels like a good standalone, but I want so much more from these girls and this world! I can't wait until July! Oh, and I’d commit a minor felony to get a Virgo Zodiac! You all, pick this graphic novel up!

I had never read this comic book series before and figured I would give it a try. It reminded me very much of Sailor Moon but with the Zodiac signs. It also reminded me of Jem based on the girls fighting other girls, trying to figure out who they are, etc storyline. It's pretty much a combo of 1980s/1990s anime and girl power cartoons. Perfect for both young and old, and it's one that doesn't seem cheesy either. It's spot on for girl power and empowering girls to be who they are, while telling a wonderful story.

A fun, gorgeous book that pays homage to the Magical Girl genre in a sincere way. Kevin's writing is heartfelt and funny, and Paulina's art is absolutely gorgeous. The perfect mix of teen drama with plenty of action and wicked battle scenes. If you're a fan of Buffy, Sailor Moon, or Powerpuff Girls this comic is right for you.

I cannot express how much I enjoyed this comic! I'm a pretty big fan of all things magical girl related and this was such a nostalgia trip in every good way. The story was simple, but the characters had a lot of depth and variety to them. I can't wait to read more and get to know these characters. Can we get more of the Victorian Zodiac Starfore? Please? ;)The art is also amazing! Great character design, color work and details. The art definitely fit the tone of the story, working together perfectly.I can't praise this book enough. I don't see a lot of stories like this these days and I plan to keep supporting this book in the future!

I love the issues Of Zodiac Starforce but I absolutely love this volume! I get to read all of those issues in one and preserve them. Zodiac Starforce is the best magical girl comic series ever! I love the plot, the character development, and the art! I highly recommend this to any girl who love magic and girls who kick butt!

Magic, girls who kick butt, diverse romance and a fresh take on the magical girl genre! Good for all ages, but probably best for a young adult or young twenty's audience. I'll be keeping up with this series for sure!Plus my first book came with severe denting on the back cover and I was given a new copy! Thanks, Amazon 💕

A gift for a friend, and they love it!

Such a beautiful love letter to the romantic cartoons of the 90s, this book spins the magical girl genre in a refreshing light. Completely full of complex, interesting female characters with lots of queer and POC representation, this book is a great read and a delight to look at. Would definitely recommend to old fans of the genre as well as newcomers! ♥

The artwork in this is absolutely stunning. The drawings, the characters, the outfits - everything is perfect! And the colours! Bright and bold and an almost dreamy mix of pinks and purples, yet it's still vibrant.This would probably be a four-star rating just because it's so lovely to look at! Luckily the story and the dialogue lives up to the artwork. It seems very influenced by Sailor Moon. There are extras in the back and one of them is a one-page story with the characters in uniforms that look very much like the Sailor Soldiers. But it's much more modern, and a lot louder and faster paced than Sailor Moon.I started reading thinking that this was the first volume, but there must have been one before this that explained the characters and where they got their powers. It keeps referring events that happened two years ago, where they fought a big bad and I think one of the characters lost her mother? So I did kinda feel like I was missing something, but it didn't impact on understanding the story in this volume.The characters are well-developed and easy to tell apart. They all have their own personality and their own style. My favourite is Kim! I'm also really liking Lily.My only complaint is that I wish it were longer. I hope there's more coming soon.

Zodiac Starforce starts after the group has long retired, only for strange things to start happening again about town, bringing the team back together! Taking many cues from Sailor Moon and magical girl anime, Zodiac Starforce is joyful and wonderful. The main cast are all women, with a wide range of body types represented, and there's cute queer romance too!If you liked this, try the Jem & the Holograms reboot, Sailor Moon manga and Ms Marvel.

This was a charming and enjoyable comic with a lot of heart and fun and colour, but I couldn’t help but feel a little underwhelmed. Though is succeeded in what it aimed to do, which is to create a fun superhero group akin to Sailor Moon, it also felt like some opportunities were missed and it could have adapted into some more original plot points. I enjoyed the inclusion of LGBT themes and it was still a lot of fun! Just a fun ride that ends too quickly and doesn’t leave much of a lasting impression.

Such a cute read, fast, quickly and such a girly feel good. I can’t wait to read more.. x x

El cómic es entretenido y tiene buenas referencias con el género de chicas mágicas, historiaun poco cliché a mi criterio, y sentí algunas partes que no cuajaban o que no te explicaban.Espero que esto cambie en el siguiente volumen.

interesting first book, I am eager to see more

So cute. I love the extra: Sketchbook (Notes)
