Zodiac Starforce: By the Power of Astra
Zodiac Starforce: By the Power of Astra | Kevin Panetta
They're an elite group of teenage girls with magical powers who have sworn to protect our planet against dark creatures . . . as long as they can get out of class! Known as the Zodiac Starforce, these high-school girls aren't just combating math tests. They're also battling monsters--not your typical afterschool activity! But when an evil force from another dimension infects team leader Emma, she must work with her team of magically powered friends to save herself--and the world--from the evil Diana and her mean-girl minions! From Kevin Panetta (Bravest Warriors) and Paulina Ganucheau (TMNT: New Animated Adventures, Bravest Warriors), this super-fun and heartfelt story of growing up and friendship--with plenty of magical-girl fighting action--delivers the most exciting new ensemble cast in comics!

Cute ya graphic novel. Though I am not sure if I joined in the middle of a story because a lot already seemed established which I didn‘t know.

Wasn't sure about this at first, so much fighting. But the super hero high schoolers grew on me. I'm intrigued by the references to previous (maybe parallel?) starforces as well as the other club revealed further into the volume. The hair is aces😍 #mommyreads #comics #booksandcoffee

I loved this so much! The magic girl storylines are an easy in for me, and this was a fantastic riff on the idea. The characters were wonderful and the Lily + Savi arc= ❤❤❤ I'm very much looking forward to reading the next part of the series! Also, I really want to read more of the scrapped idea of them as rockstars solving crimes.

This reminds me an awful lot of Sailor Moon. Four girls chosen as warriors of Astra fight monsters using the powers of their zodiac signs. I loved the diversity in this in regards to race, body type and sexual preference and the art style is beautiful. However, I kept feeling like I was missing something. This is the first volume yet it reads like a second volume. Left me very confused and I was sure I was missing out on important info.

I bought this graphoc novel for my hospital stay next week. But i was to curious and started reading it as soon as it got delivered. Oops #sorrynotsorry #graphicnovel #magicalschoolgirls

mariaku21 Idk why, but seeing this cover made me think that if Sailor Moon and Jem ever had a baby, it'd be this! 7y

While the artwork is fun and I'll essentially read anything having to do with the zodiac, sooooo many things happened on such a short amount of time. Which is also a common problem I have with single issues. Plus, I desperately wanted more background on the cast and their abilities. Still undecided about continuing once the next volume is out. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 stars)

I was looking forward to this, but it was pretty bad. It's slow, doesn't explain enough about the story or characters, has atrocious dialogue, and wants to be "Sailor Moon" really really badly. The only thing it has going for it is the beautiful artwork. Flip through the pages if you come across this one, but don't bother to read it.

aeeklund Oof. I've been curious about this one, but wondered if that would be the case. Thanks for doing the research on this one! 8y
moranadatter I didn't love this one either. 8y
pocketmermaid @aeeklund I feel bad sometimes about giving bad reviews, but I also feel like it's my sacred duty. 8y

I feel like I should absolutely love this, but the stakes were raised so high so quickly I had a little trouble connecting.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! NEW SERIES TO LOVE SO MUCH!!!!!!! It's like Jem & the Holograms and Rainbow Brite with more baddies and ass-kicking. Queerer, too. C'mon c'mon c'mon, next volume!!! 💖🌈💖🌈💖🌈💖🌈💖

Keyoung I really wanted to like this one... but something about it didn't work for me. There was a to I did like, but something about the plot just didn't do it for me. 8y
LindsayReads @Keyoung I think I can see where you're coming from. The general plot was pretty standard in that way most first volumes are...for me, it was the details and art in particular that hooked me. 8y
Keyoung @LindsayReads Yeah, I loved the art and character design. It might also be that... *whispers* I'm just not really into magical girl stories... don't tell anybody. 8y
LindsayReads @Keyoung WAT *faints* 8y

RealLifeReading @Blaine it might be. The language is simple and easy enough to understand. My five year old wasn't very interested though! 8y

Slow start for me, then ultimately hardcore vibing with the Sailor Moon Easter eggs and romantic side plots. I want more!

Favorite magical girl squad since Sailor Moon. Monsters, magic, mayhem, lady friendship, a complicated villain, diversity, a smidge of romance and all the moon/star iconography your heart can take. Not to mention all the cute!

This book was bonkers but in a good way. If you go into it knowing that it's not an origin story and commit to picking up the pieces of their past as you go along, then it's a rollicking good time. Friendship, bravery, loyalty, and love. Much love!💖💖💖
My #24in48 #readathon book 4 is done and my clock is exactly 4 hours. I'm way behind but I'm averaging a book per hour! 😂😂😂

Well I suppose if I'd cracked the spine earlier I'd have read this months ago! Even if this is the only time they're in a library this has pretty much guaranteed I'll love this series. 📚📚📚📚📚

This book looks insane! It came across my desk at the library and I was thinking everything from She-Ra to Sailor Moon. Let's call this an awesome scientific experiment (FOR SCIENCE!!!) and I promise to report back.
This is book 4 of my #24in48 #readathon stack. So far I am totes behind y'all at only 2 hours 59 minutes. Time to buckle down! 🤓💖📚

RealLifeReading Looks like such a fun read! 8y
Carol @RealLifeReading it was fun! It's like the magic/adventure of Sailor Moon with the intense friendship of Lumberjanes. 8y
