One-Star Squadron #4

Liebers art perfectly captures the tone of this series and the expressive characters draw in the reader visually. Read Full Review

DC Comics' ONE-STAR SQUADRON #4 is depressingly aware of the facts. Success is a commodity that's hoarded by a few, and shared with no one. In ONE-STAR SQUADRON, even legendary Justice Leaguers have to figure out where next month's rent is coming from. This would be a hard pill to swallow if it weren't delivered with so many laughs.

It's overall a solid issue, although it feels more like Russell riffing on tech issues than telling an actual story with these characters. Read Full Review

The themes begin to solidify and the satire is stronger than ever as we gear up for the end of One-Star Squadron. Read Full Review

If it weren't for a handful of big laughs, specifically one about "corporate art," One-Star Squadron would simply land with a thud. Instead, it functions as a curiosity worth discussing as much for what is absent as what is present. Read Full Review

One-Star Squadron #4 is a sad, spiritually ugly, depressing continuation of a story that (I suppose) is intended to be biting satire. However, the jokes don't land, the satire is just mean-spirited, and the one bright spot from the first issue (Gangbuster) finally returns only to be shuffled off with a Trick-or-Treat moment gone wrong. Somebody, please put this misery out of its misery. Read Full Review

I loved this issue. It was a depressing parody of the grind of Capitalism, and that should speak to anyone with a brain in their head.

Mark Russell has found a perfect way to do what he does so well but with superheroes. Wonder Twins was almost it but, as a fan of his social satire and of C-list characters, each of which features in both, I find this book more satisfying. And the art is perfect. I would be so happy for this to become an ongoing title. Since that probably won’t happen I’ll just hope Russell and DC can find similar success with more superhero stuff together. This has been one of my favorite series’ from DC in years.

This was good enough but I have no clue where this is heading.
