A review by jakekilroy
Astro City, Vol. 8: Shining Stars by Kurt Busiek

4.0

This is series is so profoundly confident without ever becoming egotistical. Its truly imaginative narration of the mundane mixed severely with the extraordinary is a rarity. It has the patience of oral history and the charm of an up-and-coming young author. But Busiek has been around long enough to know how to do that. He's got the wisdom to tell it right and the dedication to know what will work. This collection articulates age with a focus that isn't overbearing and is just as lively as could be. Props.
