Mar 04, 2026Ashley Allen gave Dani Moonstar an incredibly strong start and the proper introduction into her first and very overdue solo series. With a story as strong as Dani Moonstar herself, this was a slam dunk! Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Mar 04, 2026The logo design for the series is a charming homage to the 1985 Alex Jay design for The New Mutants logo. It would be really cool of Dani’s series could be more of an ongoing thing. She was always one of the stronger, more interesting characters of the original New Mutants series. As she’s had a tendency to share page and panel with a lot of other characters over the years, she’s rarely had an opportunity to be the central focus as she is in her own title. As a result...there’s still a lot of potential in a character who debuted over 4 decades ago. Read Full Review

Few comics are perfect, and this one has some small problems, but all in all, it’s still an enjoyable read that will get you to come back for more. Read Full Review

Mar 04, 2026Moonstar #1 doesn’t present the most engaging story, but it gives itself plenty of room to grow. Those who read the stories that preceded it might get more from this book, but even those that didn’t might find enough to keep them interested for the next issue. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Mar 04, 2026Moonstar #1 sets Dani on a cursed sword chase blending her Cheyenne mutant grit with Valkyrie echoes, but the boring grind of exposition-heavy setup and rote undead brawls fails to ignite. Does this earn a slot in your tightly curated stack amid endless X-tie-ins and $4.99 pulls? With competent but uninspired delivery, it scrapes by for Moonstar completists chasing lore, yet demands more punch to justify the rack space over bolder solos. Read Full Review

a Cool character who I like is just dragged through the crapper with this issue. There is so much exposition and set up it's insane. This issue is terrible. Kyrons monologues are unbearable. Cancel this series.
