I'll admit, like almost anyone else familiar with James Robinson's original run on DC's '90s incarnation of Starman, I was more than a little trepidant when I heard the writer would be reviving the series as part of DC's "resurrected book" promotion for the Blackest Night crossover. The original 80+ issue run of the series remains my favorite comics story of all time and has one of the few perfect, "please don't revisit this" endings of any series ever set within a shared superhero universe. And while the latter consideration was drawn mostly moot by the fact that Robinson opted out of focusing on the series lead Jack Knight (as he did the last time he came back to the Starman fold for a brief Golden Age story drawn by Jack's co-creator and the artist of the above cover Tony Harris), there were still a lot of things to be "worried" about for someone who holds Starman in as high a regard as I do.
