| | This Is Not News - Comics - December 2000 - Rise of The Red Star |
 | | In the three issues out to date (with the fourth hitting stores soon), readers have marveled at the integration of three-dimensional computer models with two-dimensional hand-drawn art, gotten their first glimpse at the world of the United Republics of the Red Star, and been introduced to two members of the Antares family, among other characters. |
 | | Her husband Marcus is a soldier in the URRS' army, fighting fiercely for his country even as he curses his leaders' incompetence, doomed to fall in battle. |
 | | Everything in The Red Star is big the story, the action, the ships, the artwork but its ambitious story and visual style are blended with small, character-building moments. |
