Still super fun. I love Starfire and I'm sad that this series had to end because I think she'd do great with her own series. The characters in this are strong, I especially love Stella, and I'm sad to see them go. I liked volume one better, but this has still been overall a great ride.

More fun adventures with a decent amount of emotional intelligence and a slightly unreasonable amount of beautiful women in very little clothing. 💁🏼♂️ I would be happy to read more about this character, especially if her adorable pink alien sidekick comes along.

this was a quick and enjoyable read—the art changed a few times and i can’t remember if that happened in the first volume but it set me off because of the drastic character changes halfway through, and the plot was interesting but not captivating enough. i enjoy kori’s character and personality, but everyone seemed to be all over the place and some things seemed confusing.

Starfire is so charming, and this graphic novel was a pleasant read. I'm sorry that Kori's adventures in Key West are over.

I love Kori!!!
This series was down to earth and a lot of fun, but not without meaningful character moments and relationships. It's a common observation among comic book fans that DC heroes tend to be larger than life, god-like beings (and I love them for it) while Marvel has more of the street level, everyday-life of heroes stuff. Looking at the (arguably) most well-known characters of each publisher, the Trinity (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman) and Spider-Man, it seems to be true to an extent.
Even then it's more of a tendency, not a fact and this Starfire series proves that. Kori is the perfect character for a more light-hearted approach to "the alien among humans story." Her lack of understanding of everyday life on Earth and her carefree yet caring personality get her into all kinds of trouble as she's trying to help out and become a member of the local community. I love how the writers don't throw her under the bus for her naivete but it's still funny when she gets into a misunderstanding because of it. We're laughing with her and not at her, which is the kind of comedy I like.
The art is beautiful and, aside from the art-style change for the last couple of issues, consistent. Even then, both of the art styles are consistent within themselves but there is a noticeable change and it threw me off for a bit.
Unfortunately this series had to end after only two volumes because of Rebirth but it was a really great time.

Where do you put a 6'2" Orange Alien with fiery red hair (yes - it is on fire.) and an aversion to clothing? Apparently,Key West, Florida's "Conch Republic".
The two volume set "Starfire: Welcome Home" and "Starfire: A Matter of Time" contains a set of mostly entertaining stories, presented in short , easily digested vignettes that portray sympathetic super powered woman as she tries to make a place for herself in her new community.
Known by all but the nerdiest of comic book nerds for her costume, a perennial favorite of thirteen year old boys of all ages, Starfire /Koriand'r/ Kory Andrews is often not well developed as a character. This series rectifies that as we see Kory develop roots in her community and strong female friendships, and the odd male based one or two. Kory's hero's journey is more one of self discovery than monster bashing, but that is really th whole point of the series.
Parts of the series do feel a bit rough. In particular there are a number of stories and sub plots that can be downright ridiculous and do not pay off or even seem antithetical to the nature of the series itself. These can be safely ignored since the real focus of the series is on Kory's journey of self discovery.

This was a strong arc and I'm sad to say goodbye to this series. I'm glad it had a conclusion at least. I was looking forward to the Dick Grayson issues, but they've made him so boring now that those ended up being the weakest in this collection.
