Stargirl: The Lost Children #5 Spoilers and Review.
The book opens with a recap of who our lead is and what’s transpired in the first four issues of this six part limited series.
Then we get a cool dramatis personae revealing for me just how many sidekicks are in this mini-series.
Seeing them together like this shows the sheer number of them which, to me, wasn’t readily event in the action panels from previous issues.
Well, Childminder is capturing them or having them “nested” by her robotic nannies.
Elsewhere the android Hourman from DC One Million and his / its own 1990’s ongoing series has emerged as Childminder’s benefactor, but there is someone else yet to be revealed that is Hourman’s “owner”.
It seems Judy Garrick, the Boom, is the most powerful of the forgotten sidekicks and of keen interest to Hourman.
Well, she frees herself and Red Arrow followed by even more sidekicks including Sparky the sidekick of the original Blue Beetle (who actually existed back in the day) plus Young Justice’s classic ally the Secret.
The confront Hourman and Childminder, but there may be somethings the kids don’t know.
Stargirl and her ally sidekicks join the battle too.
Looks like Red Arrow is like the forgotten sidekicks it would be seem.
However, is it possibe that Hourman is here to help the sidekicks?!
Also, do we get a new super-team in the finale called the Young Justice Society?
The Pulse.
Lots of action in this penultimate issue of this mini-series. Even new sidekicks emerge like one for the Golden Age Blue Beetle. Compelling story and solid art. Entertaining and intriguing. 8 out of 10.
