I loved it! Tamaki, as always, nails the teen voice. The art is fun, expressive, and suits the contemporary/capes mix really well. A perfect one-off standalone for readers interested in superheroes but intimidated/confused by comics continuity - reminds me a lot of Runaways in that way.

I really liked this gn/comic. So much so that I finished it in one sitting. That’s rare for me. I love that this was a female and Mandy, the main character, has curves and is her own fucking person. Liked the teenage angst too - it was actually believable.

This was cute and definitely does not deserve the misogynist and homophobic hate its been getting from grown men who think the world revolves around them.
I love books about shitty, moody teenagers being shitty, moody teenagers, which is what this graphic novel essentially is. Throw in superheroes, a sapphic romance, and said moody teenager maturing emotionally and you've got I Am Not Starfire. I really enjoyed it!!
PS Mandy's design is super cute, some of these reviews are trippin

A coming of age graphic novel about Starfire's daughter finding her place.
A good recommendation for someone who likes coming of age graphic novels with superhero themes.
