comment
Stargirl: The Lost Children is a six-issue miniseries from DC Comics, published as part of the DC Infinite Frontier initiative. It is written by Geoff Johns (Stargirl, JSA, Green Lantern) with art by Todd Nauck (Young Justice).Courtney Whitmore returns as Stargirl, the teen superhero of the modern Justice Society of America. However, upending her life is Emiko Queen (Red Arrow), and a vision that tells her that the lost sidekicks of the Golden Age must be found! Courtney, despite being incredibly familiar with Golden Age history thanks to her time in the JSA, has no recollection of any of the missing heroes. Despite being grounded, Courtney joins Emiko in her investigation into these supposedly missing heroes.The series was preceded by the Stargirl Spring Break Special and The New Golden Age one-shots. It also serves as one of the follow-ups to Johns' Flashpoint Beyond series, alongside his other title as part of "The New Golden Age", Justice Society of America (2022).

Ambiguous Situation
 Stargirl: The Lost Children (Comic Book) / int_1f6983f7
comment
Ambiguous Situation: It's not very clear what the deal is with the Newsboy Legion. The concept would seem to favour the idea that they're the original Newsboys, de-aged on arrival like Dan the Dyna-Mite or taken from the past like the Boom. But the presence of Famous Bobby in her hoodie and sneakers, and the fact they get dropped in the present day with everyone else (when the original Newsboys do have a place in history) suggests they're the clones.

Parents as People: Courtney's parents can accept her being a superhero, but her failing grades means that they ground her from everything but a Crisis-level emergency, since they know she'll be needed but do think that she needs to focus on school.

Mythology Gag: The series begins with Courtney having fought Solomon Grundy off-screen, and informing her family. An issue of Geoff Johns' JSA also began the same way. Mercifully, things go a lot easier for Courtney here, as no-one suddenly bursts in to kill her family.

However, Corky's mission involved needing to send Wing back to his point in time or time/space would be obliterated. Despite Stargirl trying to save him, Wing opts to let go and return to his Heroic Sacrifice. The sidekicks are sent back to the present where Stargirl decides to turn them into the Young Justice Society.

Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: A mystery set up in the first issue. Courtney and Emiko somehow weren't affected by the temporal reintegration of the missing Golden Age characters following Flashpoint Beyond. So, they've never 'heard' of these missing characters (like everyone else) and have no idea who they are.

Growing Up Sucks: Corky has to contend with seeing his adult self bitterly fulfill his mission of sending Wing back to his death and this being revealed in front of all the other kid sidekicks he was hoping to impress as his friends. While dejected over this, Rip gives him cold comfort saying that Time Masters only make enemies, never friends, because they have to do what it takes to insure history goes down the right path, and completing his mission is putting him well on his way towards becoming one.

Only Friend: Courtney believes she's this to Emiko Queen, who she thinks doesn't have anyone else she can be herself around. However, readers familiar with Emiko will know this isn't entirely true — while she doesn't really have fun with the Teen Titans like she does with Courtney, she at least has a close friendship with Ace West, although that one is more romantic in nature than her friendship with Courtney.

Remember the New Guy?
 Stargirl: The Lost Children (Comic Book) / int_77b03c0a
comment
Remember the New Guy?: Most of the sidekicks mentioned to have "gone missing" from the Golden Age did not actually exist, and were created for this series. Some examples especially stand out, like Judy Garrick, the biological daughter of Jay and Joan Garrick... who previously only had an adopted son for a few days before he died, with the Flash Family explicitly being Jay's surrogate children to fill that void. It's also justified in-universe as these characters literally are new guys (as they were just reintegrated into the timeline during Flashpoint Beyond and The New Golden Age). So, now everyone 'remembers' the new guys.

Fountain of Youth: Dan the Dyna-Mite finds where the missing child heroes have apparently gone, and is shipwrecked. As he makes it to shore, he suddenly de-ages him back to a teenager. And then he's attacked. This is later stated to be because the sands of the island's beaches are made of Miraclo. The Childminder was holding the sidekicks captive at the promise of having her youth restored. She gets it and then some when a blast of temporal energy reverts her to an egg.

The Bus Came Back
 Stargirl: The Lost Children (Comic Book) / int_927b2f11
comment
The Bus Came Back: This series serves as one for Stargirl, since she hasn't been used since Justice League United in 2015 outside of background appearances. During their brief visit to the Arrow Cave, Courtney and Emiko see statues of Miss Arrowette, Leapo the Clown, Bonzo the Ape Archer, Spider, Crimson Archer, Rainbow Archer and the Green Arrows of the World, all of whom hadn't appeared in years or even decades. Little Miss Redhead and the Blue Boys are among the sidekicks kidnapped by the Childminder. The intended buyer of the lost children is the Hourman of the DC One Million saga. All the Golden Age sidekicks who haven't been invented specially, since the idea Earth Prime even had a Golden Age was retconned in relatively recently. The Newsboy Legion includes Famous Bobby, who even in the previous continuity had been written out of the Newsboys when her creator, Karl Kesel, left the Superman titles.

Continuity Overlap: Despite being a limited series, The Lost Children runs in tandem with the 2022 JSA relaunch. Despite the time travel elements, events and elements of JSA is still have ripple effects here (like Jay and Joan Garrick's lost daughter Judy being mentioned in the former and appearing here in the latter).
