39. The Siege of Starro! Part 1

Guest Stars – Teaser: Anthro, Etrigan, Jonah Hex, The Justice Society of America (Flash/Jay Garrick), Dr. Fate, Wildcat, Dr. Mid-Nite, Hourman, Hawkman); Episode: Booster Gold, Firestorm, B’wana Beast, Captain Marvel

Here we go, folks. This is not a drill. This is the culmination of the Starro storyline, and it wraps up in one of only two two-part episodes in the series. And the only two-part episode to be officially titled as such. This is a big deal.

This one features Starro and the Faceless Hunter’s plans as they come to fruition. Most of Earth’s heroes are conquered with only Batman, Booster Gold, Firestorm, Captain Marvel, and B’wana Beast still around to fight. But fight they do, and they manage to beat Starro with skill and moxie and a lot of magic lightning.

But this isn’t over. The Faceless Hunter grabs B’wana Beast and vanishes. He has a plan. Overall, a deeply good episode. And the key B’wana Beast moments are wonderful (especially a heartbreaking one with Vixen).

Verdict: Great.
