Finished reading Starfire: Welcome Home, writers Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti bring a new series featuring renowned Teen Titan Starfire, who has left her previous team the Outlaws in hope to start a new life on her adopted planet. The book opens up with Starfire asking advice from members of the superhero community on where she could begin a new life for herself. With the help of Superman Starfire decides to make Key West in Florida her new home with her first stop being at the local police station where she quickly befriends the local sheriff, Stella Gomez who helps to find Starfire a place to live at a nearby trailer park. Not long after Starfire moves into her new home a large hurricane starts heading towards the island and with the help of Stella the two try to save the residents from the first of many situation Starfire encounters in her new home. Overall this was a good book as it brings the character of Starfire into the forefront of her own series and works greatly with writers Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti having a fish out of water take on the book which brings a nice amount of comedic moments which also benefits form how alien Starfire is to the world. With Starfire's story being primarily base on trying to fit into a more normal life on Earth it allows to book to have room to develop the supporting cast members of the book which helps to make each one as interesting with a nice amount of detail being put in making these people more than just simple background characters. The artwork by Emanuela Lupacchino brings the tropical location to life extremely well with it feel with the colouring of the book helping to bring it to life with a lot of bright and lighter tone colours. While the art also does a nice job in capturing the emotions and expressions of the characters very well. 7/10.
