Not much of 2018 had gone by before MoviePass made its first alteration on its plan: you can only use the service to a movie once. If it was playing in a theater and you hadn't seen a movie that day, then you could see whatever was playing. There were no limits to how many times you could see a particular title. At the time, for only $9.95/month I was able to see one movie, ANY movie, every day of the month. It's been almost a year since I signed up for MoviePass. Imgur album of David's appearances that I have. Zero Hour: Crisis in Time #1 (Zero Hour UPC, Direct UPC)īlackest Night: Rise of the Black Lanterns TPB, HC He had to do it, though, because we had to get Jack to take up the mantle and cosmic rod.īlackest Night #6 (regular, variant, and sketch) Robinson did a great job of making us care about him right before killing him off at the end of the first issue. Like every Starman whom Robinson brought into the series, David grew as a person and a hero, and by the end of the series his death was even more poignant and important. If you don't know that David gets murdered in the very first issue (which is actually the Zero Issue.don't get confused about it), then.crap, I guess I went and ruined it.
I kind of don't want to mention anything else about David for fear of spoiling the series, but c'mon, it's almost 25 years old.
To be fair, though, his little brother Jack didn't make things easy for him (do little brothers ever?). Before James Robinson came along and rebooted and revitalized the Starman name, David Knight, oldest son of Golden Age Starman Ted Knight, appeared in exactly two comic books, both during Will Payton's series.ĭavid was a dick in Payton's series, and he was kind of a dick at the beginning of Robinson's.
