He provides much needed context and understanding that many young people struggle with familial expectations and don’t fully comprehend the hardships their parents have gone through to give them a chance to succeed and find happiness. Lincoln adds a touch of realism as he is a friendly reminder that while Mandy is experiencing life as the daughter of an alien superhero, her experiences are not entirely out-of-this-world. In addition to telling Mandy’s story, the book offers more insight regarding Mandy’s experience through her best friend. This is a family-oriented story about a young woman who is close to the superhero world, but feels out of place. Many will find Mandy to be a refreshing change of pace as she is a fat queer goth girl, but her story isn’t solely about her appearance or her queerness. Her struggles are universal and she is easy to root for. She is well drawn, in terms of writing and character design, with a clear and distinctive personality and voice. Mandy, our rebellious teen, is the perfect protagonist to jumpstart any young readers interest into all things superheroes and comic books. It is light on lore, but opens readers up to an expansive world with interesting characters and narratives. I Am Not Starfire is the perfect summer read for any young burgeoning comic book reader and DC fan. Those details don’t matter as much as the story about this dynamic mother-daughter duo. The narrative doesn’t get into the weeds in regards to DC canon, specifically in regards to Mandy’s father.

There is a nice balance between telling an independent story about growing up and the story of what it’s like to be the daughter of theStarfire. The distinct colouring to illustrate the difference between the mother and daughter enrich the text, and allows the reader to fully immerse themselves into the story.Īlthough the story touches on DC canon that most readers know about, the book does not assume everyone is extremely knowledgeable and thus takes a step back to ease us into the world through a new perspective. Yoshitani’s artwork perfectly captures the essence of the story, working alongside Tamaki’s writing to create a vivid portrait of Mandy and Starfire. It is not overly dramatic in its approach but doesn’t underplay telling the story about Mandy’s anxieties regarding her future, the pressures of being the daughter of someone famous, and also not being able to communicate her true feelings to her mother.
