Stargirl Spring Break Special #1 – Geoff Johns and Todd Nauck Take DC’s Cosmic Staff-Wielding Super Hero on a Spring Break Adventure With the Seven Soldiers of Victory!

After months and months of fighting crime and handling universe-threatening enemies, even superheroes need a springtime vacation. But thanks to award-winning writer Geoff Johns and artist Todd Nauck, there’s no Cancun, Miami, or South Padre Island on Stargirl’s itinerary in this 48-page one shot, on sale May 4!

Courtney Whitmore’s spring break plans aren’t like your average high schooler’s. Instead of hanging out with friends, she’s heading out on an adventure with her stepfather, Pat Dugan, a.k.a. S.T.R.I.P.E., and teaming up with his former team, the Seven Soldiers of Victory! The soldiers are forced to reunite again to unearth the secret eighth soldier of victory, but what other secrets lay buried, and what does it all mean for Courtney’s future as Stargirl?

Anybody can hang out at the beach and party, but for fans of Stargirl, Golden Age superheroes and fast-paced fun and adventure, the Stargirl Spring Break Special is a must-read! The book arrives at comic book stores and participating digital retailers on May 4 for $5.99. The physical version also features a card stock variant cover by Mike McKone for $6.99.

You mean like they did with All Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder #11 (DC); All-Winners Squad: Band of Heroes #6 (Marvel); Afterlife with Archie #11 (Archie Comics);  . . . ?

As far as the JSA goes, in recent months we've seen Jay Garrick in Flash, Wildcat in the Green Arrow Special and several members in Infinite Frontier. I'm happy with that. I can accept that DC as a company doesn't see the JSA as their number one priority. I'd be surprised if they did. But they clearly have plans. That's better than the situation we had from 2011-2016.

I keep talking about the stuff I'm enjoying and it always gets greeted by relentless negativity. And I don't understand why. I hated the New 52, too, but that was ten years ago! I honestly think that since 2016 they've got more right than wrong.

"Better grasp of characters like Superman" by suddenly aging up his son and by also apparently introducing a brother for Lois Lane (while her sister Lucy seems to have been written out of existence)?

And it just hurts my brain when I try to comprehend Bendis dialogue.
