This is a competent little tale that fleshes out the backstory of one of the named characters from the original story. It doesn’t add anything to the Rising Stars mythos and you won’t be missing anything if you don’t read it.

The art has the same high gloss ethos as the original series and eschews anything too dynamic or innovative. There is a lot of narration and talking heads but you are used to that by now.

Thumbs Up!
