(Couldn't find #1 so this is my first)
Holy bananas, Starfire as capable and assertive?! As not the odd one all the time? (It is Florida...) I'm so excited! I hope this continues to be awesome!

Kori helps resuce people on land and at sea during a hurricane in Key West. This book is really enjoyable. Kori’s character is a little different than I’m used to – more naïve and child-like – but it works, if you put all the old stuff aside. The supporting cast is interesting and believable and they all have unique personalities and characteristics. I also need to add that the art is simply stunning at times. There are panels where the lighting is just beautiful, and Kori is lovely at all times. I’m enjoying this much more than I thought I would.

Another fun Starfire issue! Koriandr is just as adorable and powerful as the first issue and my gosh is she ever gorgeous. I absolutely love the art in the series so far. Everything about this book is lovely.

This comic made me love Koriand'ar even more. Kori is such a sweetheart. She always puts others safety ahead of her own. Whether it's a parrot or a human, the orange titan will save them in a heartbeat. It's hurricane season in Flordia. Turns out it's raining more than cats and dogs!

It's lovely to see Kori not acting dumb all the time, anymore. I have enjoyed seeing her start to come out of her shell.

Cara: Great second issue! I am loving this series so far! Kori is still fun and funny. I'm not sure where the weird dinosaur part of the story is going.
