fridaymouse 's review for:

Starstruck Deluxe Edition by Elaine Lee, Michael Wm. Kaluta
DID NOT FINISH: 4%

Incomprehensible and with art that's hard to look at. I can't tell what is going on narratively, and the lines and colors blend together.

I was hoping it would have a similar low barrier to entry as the D20 adaptation, but with different characters to explore. None of the characters talk like "normal" people, it seems like they have an in-universe retro-future dialect that is not at all helped by being dropped in the middle of the world. 

Even with my knowledge from the much easier-to-follow D20 show, this takes too much brainpower. I wasn't planning to dedicate hours to research and side materials while reading— it's a comic collection I picked up to knock out in a couple afternoons for fun. Not what I expected, but might be fun for someone wanting to sink their teeth into the World of Starstruck with much more time to dedicate.
