Talk:Rising Stars (comics)

Ambiguous/misleading use of word

"The series explores how society may react to the advent of superpowers..."

Considering that grown-ups who follow the news are used to the word "superpower" referring to nations like the United States, the former Soviet Union, and the People's Republic of China, maybe this should be reworded. What it is talking about, I suppose ("I suppose," because I have not read the books or this article) is the appearance of humans with superpowers; i.e., superheroes or something like that.

Not if you read the first paragraph

Why comment if you admit you haven't read the article you're criticizing? The very first sentence of the article mentions that this is a comic book series. The second links to the Wikipedia entry of the comic book type of superpowers. 199.116.168.51 (talk) 23:40, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Blatant Copyvio

This article was mostly a blatant copyvio of [1]. Unfortunately, under Wikipedia copyright policies, the whole page must be reverted back to its last un-tainted version which was in November 2003. Ouch. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 21:55, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

The "Story" section is an incoherent mess and needs a major rewrite.

I've done some cleanup of this section but it could still use more, especially if more detailed into on the plot is desired. --65.113.254.224 21:56, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Can we remove the "needs work" tag on the story section now? Solofire6 21:21, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Either-or

Is Jushua Kane/Sanctuary supposed to be a transvestite, or does he physically turn into a woman? I'm pretty sure that he actually transforms, but I can't find a citation... --- Noclevername 21:40, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

The comic suggests that he's simply transgendered, but the novel seems to suggest an actual physical transformation. On page 188 of Ten Years After, it says "In a matter of moments, the iridescent woman following the Specials flying to their doom transcended the traditional physical definitions of gender, evolving into a higher form of androgyny." And again, on page 191, "He realized now that it had been wrong for him to keep his true inner nature and outer physicality secret." (Emphasis mine). --- Aki86

Heroes link

The link cited for the statement "Parallels have also been drawn between Rising Stars and the television series Heroes." doesn't actually support that contention. I do strongly agree with that notion, but the citation should be replaced by something relevant or deleted. There's not even a mention of Rising Stars on that page - the discussion is about Supreme Power. I suspect the article author was confused, but that interpretation would be OR.

Agreed on every point. H3G3M0N (talk) 19:03, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Infobox: Artist info very outdated

Infobox only lists Keu Cha, Ken Lashley and Christian Zanier as Pencillers and Jason Gorder, John Livesay and Edwin Rosell as inkers. Full artist list according to [2] and [3] is as follows: Pencillers: Keu Cha (1-2) Ken Lashley (3-13) Christian Zanier (3-11) Stuart Immonen (14) Brent Anderson (15-24)

Inkers: Jason Gorder (1-2) John Livesay (3-11) Edwin Rosell (3) Marlo Alquiza (4, 11-16 or 17) Victor Llamas (4) Alp Altiner (12) Danny K. Miki (13) Brent Anderson (17 or 18-24)

(GCD credits Brent Anderson as his own inker starting with issue #17, Comic Book DB still credits Marlo Alquiza for #17)--93.130.163.101 (talk) 16:37, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
