I guess I had high expectations because I have been reading Teen Titans 3. I love the artist but everything seems.. too perfect and she's so gullible (which she is to a degree). I will buy the issues because they are so cheap but I will never get a TP.

This was a fun insight into a brief backstory of Starfire and her new adventures, a part of the New 52 I believe. It was cool reading a comic just about her as I've only ever seen her a part of the Teen Titan, so have never seen her full development before, as an individual.
She has such a cute, naive character and some of the side characters were developed as much as you can expect from the first issue of a comic. The jokes in this, such as the Jamacian one, were pretty funny and played on the innocence of Starfire, in terms of her knowledge of Earth and our humor.
I didn't like that the name of the island, the story is set in, was not named so I couldn't have a solid accent in my head for the native people.
The illustration was really great and very different from both versions of the Teen Titans Cartoon Network show.
Over all, it boils down to this being an okay first issue; it wasn't magnificent, but it wasn't poop. I can see myself continuing on with this new wave of Starfire comics, but I'm not in a hurry.
Pick it up, give it a go and enjoy! ^^

Spitefully, 4.5 stars.
Well, dangnabit, I had such high praise for the second issue that I'm a little put off with the nudity in this one. It's never totally horrendous (she takes a shower, dries off in the sun, kisses a dude for no reason I can gather, it's meh), but, I read the #2 first and it was filled entirely with Starfire being an alien, but not being the odd one out, and a Starfire that saved people and did cool things. I'll write it off as the fan-service to get it going and remind myself that Amanda Conner knows what's she's doing. (Plus, why are you going to rewrite a character that is body positive and always upbeat? Those aren't bad things until they overly cater, ya feel?) *Also, Supergirl nod on point!
Anyways, Starfire opens up with a quick two page introduction to how this alien got to Earth, while acknowledging she's been on Earth for some time (so it doesn't rewrite her history). Still, idioms catch her off-guard and she has these adorable thought bubbles where she puzzles through them. I love that Starfire gets to be in tanned-city where, yes, she's orange, but she's not THAT strange in Key West. It also makes sense because she's basically solar-powered, so getting close to the equator is a nice touch. This series has a lot of promise, and I'm looking forward to seeing some character development on her end. I want more bad-assery, a cameo from her sister, and maybe some flashbacks to Teen Titans. (I'm thinking of the show, haven't read the comic) Until then, I'm a bit leery in giving out the praise.

Since I watched the original Teen Titans in cartoon network when I was younger, Starfire was my favorite, and she is still my favorite super hero of all time.
She is sweet, innocent and cute yet powerful; and I think this comic made her justice
It's very introductory, she just landed in earth, she is kind of learning, adapting, etc.
I wish it could have been more but it was nice... gonna read the others as soon as I can.
