About the author
Jim Starlin
1,336 books444 followersJames P. "Jim" Starlin is an American comic book writer and artist. With a career dating back to the early 1970s, he is best known for "cosmic" tales and space opera; for revamping the Marvel Comics characters Captain Marvel and Adam Warlock; and for creating or co-creating the Marvel characters Thanos and Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu. Death and suicide are recurring themes in Starlin's work: Personifications of Death appeared in his Captain Marvel series and in a fill-in story for Ghost Rider; Warlock commits suicide by killing his future self; and suicide is a theme in a story he plotted and drew for The Rampaging Hulk magazine.
In the mid-1970s, Starlin contributed a cache of stories to the independently published science-fiction anthology Star Reach. Here he developed his ideas of God, death, and infinity, free of the restrictions of mainstream comics publishers' self-censorship arm, the Comics Code Authority. Starlin also drew "The Secret of Skull River", inked by frequent collaborator Al Milgrom, for Savage Tales #5 (July 1974).
When Marvel Comics wished to use the name of Captain Marvel for a new, different character,[citation needed] Starlin was given the rare opportunity to produce a one-shot story in which to kill off a main character. The Death of Captain Marvel became the first graphic novel published by the company itself. (
In the late 1980s, Starlin began working more for DC Comics, writing a number of Batman stories, including the four-issue miniseries Batman: The Cult (Aug.-Nov. 1988), and the storyline "Batman: A Death in the Family", in Batman #426-429 (Dec. 1988 – Jan. 1989), in which Jason Todd, the second of Batman's Robin sidekicks, was killed. The death was decided by fans, as DC Comics set up a hotline for readers to vote on as to whether or not Jason Todd should survive a potentially fatal situation. For DC he created Hardcore Station.

Este es el primer tomo de la colección Jim Starlin que me parece prescindible, el grueso lo componen seis números del doctor extraño bastante dañinos, con un dibujo muy flojo y un guión aburrido, cuentan la búsqueda y rescate por parte del doc de varios héroes que fueron vencidos por Thanos para volver a la carga en un segundo asalto.
Los dos números de Quasar son mis favoritos del tomo, soy fan incondicional de la etapa de Mark Gruenwald y Greg Capullo en esa colección y le tengo bastante cariño a estos dos números, aunque supongo que para los que no estén familiarizados con Quasar y su entorno puede que sean un relleno más... en realidad son números de transición en la serie de Quasar, que venía de un gran arco cósmico del personaje en solitario, pero en ellos suceden eventos importantes y tenemos a Thanos haciendo de las suyas un ratito, motivo por el cual aparecen estos dos números en este tomo.
Para acabar tenemos un números de Spiderman, está bastante bien aunque me da la impresión de haber leído historias parecidas otras veces, el dibujo de Leonardi no es mi estilo preferido pero me gusta.
En fin, para completistas mas que nada, hasta ahora es el tomo más flojo de la colección.

Es el primero de la saga que se me ha hecho un poco denso...
