Finished reading Starfire: A Matter of Time, concluding the series that writers Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti started with Kori marking a home in Florida's Key West as she deals with the reemergence of an old flame and one packed vacation to an underground city. The book opens with Starfire finishing up at work at the local aquarium where she, along with her friend Sol head to a cruse ship for a meal only for a fight to brake out with Kori realising that her ex Dick Grayson is alive and working as a spy which leads to the two teaming up and talking about their current lifestyles. The next part of the book sees Kori, Atlee and Key West's sheriff Stella prepare to go to Atlee's home of the underground city of Strata for a vacation only to find it under attack by Neala-Tok. After the groups trip to Strata and they head back to Key West with Starfire coming to the conclusion that her time in Key West has come to its end due to believing that see is putting her new friends in danger by living with them as she is a superhero. Overall this was a good book as it continues to build Starfire's life in Florida's Key Wast extremely well with how she interactions with the books supporting cast and the addition of Dick Grayson shows how much the two characters have grown over the last few years. The supporting cast of the book continue to get some amazing development which is a credit to how well the book is set out to allow time for the supporting to have their own time to develop. The art throughout the book is good as artist Emanuela Lupacchio brings the characters and locations to life in a great way, while Elsa Charretier bring to life so greatly designed characters for the world of Strata. However due to the two art styles being widely different makes the transition of the art confusing with some characters seeming to be completely redesigned. 7/10.
