Finally they release a full sized graphic novel about Firestar. These comics were only available previously in mini-comic form, so this full sized collection is welcome. Firestar made her debut in the 80's cartoon Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends.

Firestar has one of the more unusual histories in the Marvel pantheon. Instead of making her first bow in the comics, she made her debut as one of the main heroes in the old NBC cartoon "Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends" in the early 1990s. While she made an occasional appearance in comics, she did not come into her own until a brief mini-series from 1986 until the "New Warriors" run in the late 1980s and early 1990s where she truly flourished as a character."X-Men Origins: Firestar" collects the four comics from the mini-series as well as a few comics showcasing her “Amazing Friends” role and a story focused on her time between the first mini-series and when she joined the New Warrior.The title's a little misleading. While Firestar is pulled between Emma Frost and the Hellfire Club and Hellions on one hand and Prof. X and the X-Men on the other, this really is not an X-Men comic. This collection features a coming of age story as a young woman finds her place in the world and realizes what her priorities are with superpowers and conflicts playing a secondary role. While she was an instructor for the X-Men in recent years, she also had a stint with the Avengers and her leading role with the New Warriors. However, most of her fame comes from her role on the old Spider-Man cartoon.It's a bit of an odd collection where character growth and development are more crucial to the plot than action scenes but it works. Admittedly it's not for everyone but most readers will enjoy this work that really develops one of the more under appreciated characters in the Marvel bullpen.

Firestar is one of those beloved classic characters Marvel doesn’t do much with, so this collected volume is a must-have for Firestar fans. This book features a generous helping of the mutant mistress of microwaves from before she was a member of the Avengers and X-Men.This 264-page collection includes:1. “Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends” one-shot (first printed appearance of Firestar; not part of Marvel Universe continuity), 19812. “Uncanny X-Men” #193 (first in-continuity MU appearance of Firestar), 19853. “Firestar” mini-series (four issues), 19864. Firestar serial from “Marvel Comics Presents” (six parts, approximately fifty pages), 1987/19885. “Spider-Man Family: Amazing Friends” (includes first in-continuity team-up with Spider-Man and Iceman), 20066. House ad for “Firestar” mini-series, 19867. Firestar article and art from “Marvel Age” magazine, 19858. A six-page "Mini-Marvels" adventure featuring Firestar, Spider-Man, and Iceman9. Bonus reprint covers and other Firestar production artThough the “Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends” one-shot is simplistic and geared toward kids, the rest of this collection has enough meat on the bones to please older readers. The “Firestar” mini-series holds up beautifully thirty years after it was first published. Also, the inclusion of Firestar’s serial in “Marvel Comics Presents” is an extra-special treat because this is the first time it’s been printed since the late '80s. This dark story picks up where Firestar's mini-series leaves off, with sore loser Emma Frost pitting Mystique and Freedom Force against Firestar for the life of Firestar's father.This book is highly recommended to fans of Marvel and of great superheroes.

For a character best remembered from a goofy 80s cartoon the story incorporating her into the main universe is surprisingly dark and sad (then again she's a Mutant superhero so I probably should have seen that coming) but still a good read for fans of 80s Marvel

No parece que vaya a publicarse una versión en español, así que es una buena opción para completar las miniseries mutantes de los años 80.
