That link makes interesting reading... been ploughing through the pages specific to 2000AD - (page 16 or so onwards) - I think one point the critic doesnt really dwell on is that perhaps Millar is just showing a contempt for his audience? He doesnt like 2000AD, thinks the style is old fashioned, stereotypical and overly macho and is "giving them what they want" while getting his kicks out of being wilfully as poor/crass as the material/audience deserves...? Although not yet got to the end!

Stating that it's an unoriginal idea as a criticism of the comic just seems silly. How many of our favourite 2000ad creators have 'borrowed' ideas to create perfectly entertaining strips?
Millar is simply taking the pulp space hero as an archetype and telling a new story with it. On the strength of the first issue, I think it's great.
From what I can see, any criticism that can be made regarding Star Light's originality could equally be made of something like The Rocketeer. Personally I'd rather just enjoy the comics.
