Conner co-writes the story with Jimmy Palmiotti, and it offers an unusual opponent: a hurricane, which strikes the Florida community that Starfire has settled into (for reasons that still aren't clear).
So the issue is given over to several rescue efforts by Koriand'r - some serious, some humorous.
It's a fast-paced, funny issue with lots of action and an emotional impact.
The art is by Emanuela Lupacchino and Ray McCarthy, and it's quite good - fresh and sexy, but not exploitative of unseemly. It includes great character designs and powerful action sequences.
The series is off to an unusual start. So far, Kori hasn't faced a single villain (we see the first signs of one, though) or life-changing event.
Instead we're meeting her new supporting cast and learning about her "new" life and setting. It's a slow, measured advancement and really refreshing, compared to the usual manic approach to a new start.
The series is fun and refreshing - if only there were more books like it!
Grade: A-
