I'm gonna guess that the 7 damns mean you didn't like it

Most of it was fine, and it sounds like it could be heading in the direction I wanted it to, but the new version of Starfire is so bad it torpedos my entire desire to continue reading. She sleeps with both team members in the first issue, and doesn't remember anyone from the Teen Titans because the new version of Tamaraneans have the memory of the guy from Memento.

that seems to be the bulk of everyone's complaints with the book. I haven't read it yet and the only things I know of Starfire are from the animated Teen Titans and some snippets here and there. While I disagree with her character changes I'll still buy it and probably the next couple of issues to see where it goes. but of course if I can't find a reason to keep reading after say the third issue I'll just save my money for the other bat family comics

I know her mainly from the cartoon as well, and that makes this transition particularly jarring. The comics version has generally been more sexual, but she always had an innocence and sweetness to her, and they've replaced that here with vapidity and short term memory loss, in the most unendearing fashion possible.

well my comics shop didn't have it so I still have to wait to read it myself. Anyways I expect due to all the complaints DC will eventually fix her, doubt the outfit will change though

The outfit's honestly no better than it ever was. It's slightly different, and more revealing but more covering in different places, probably showing nearly equal the same amount of skin. I actually would have preferred them to fix how bad the costume was from before, but they actually just made the new personality match the same old costume.
This was one I had been planning on buying until I read the early reviews; then I read it via torrent to test out if it was really that bad and low and behold, it was.

Well I finally read the thing and yep I don't like her character change either. I'm still gonna keep buying it because of the story though

Yeah, the rest of it was fine, which makes it an extra shame that that single part was too much for my money. I'm desperately trying to find something else because it's fun to have a monthly title to be excited for, but nothing so far is grabbing me like I hoped.
