There are still some monsters and creatures that need whooping, but things have been mostly chill since the end of series one. So, while they’re all good as a team, they’re also trying to figure out what’s next for them in their normal lives. Most of them are eighteen or about to be. Where are they when this new miniseries begins? The first miniseries left the crew in a much better place than where they started. My biggest inspiration for the new Zodiac Starforce series is probably…Zodiac Starforce! KP: Yeah, that’s a big thing for me, too. I feel very close to these characters for this second go around so I really feel like I have the room to explore new things! my inspiration lately has been a whole lot of Rumiko Takahashi! I’ve been on a huge Ranma ½ manga binge and her use of varied wardrobe, succinct comedy and action is exactly what I want to get across in this new series. I always loved that Ditko and Lee aged Peter Parker in real times and that was something I wanted to do in ZS, too! So, this story starts almost a year after the first series and the girls are almost a year older! I think my weirdest inspiration is the first thirty-eight issues of “Amazing Spider-Man,” though.
The villain is a little more over-the-top but still MEAN AS HECK and that is probably a little inspired by Glory from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The second mini-series explores the bigger world of Zodiac Starforce while still staying personal, which is something I love in shows like Avatar: The Last Airbender and Steven Universe. Kevin Panetta: I took inspiration from SO MANY THINGS. What were some inspirations going into this new miniseries? “Zodiac Starforce: By the Power of Astra” was a really fun, magical girl tale for today’s reader. Our Jess Camacho was a fan of the first series, and had a chance to talk to Panetaa and Ganucheau about the new mini. Well, those fans are going to be very happy, as we can exclusively announce “Zodiac Starforce: Cries of the Fire Prince,” a new four-issue sequel that starts in July. The series was a hit, spawning a very intense fan reaction. Two years ago, Dark Horse published “Zodiac Starforce: By the Power of Astra,” a four-issue miniseries from writer Kevin Panetta (“Bloom”) and artist Paulina Ganucheau (“Another Castle”).
