pickFreakin' Lemire. Such a brilliant writer and collaborator. An incident leaves an interplanetary ship with only children and the ship's A.I. to complete the mission. Wonderful character work, tense and well paced, with excellent art from Walta.
pickArresting graphic novel. Compelling story, nice artwork.
pickA crew from Earth is on its way to a colony somewhere out in space. Partway there is a blackout zone where the ship is too far from either for coms to work. In that zone, all the adults onboard die. There are a bunch of kids, 10 yrs and under, and an AI. Can the AI raise the kids and keep them safe until they get to the colony?
Graphic Novels aren‘t really my thing, but this was good. If they are your thing, you‘ll love this.

pick5/5
Things go wrong as soon as the Montgomery enters the communication black zone, and only the ship's A.I. and the crew's children are left alive to make their way to Earth's colony. It's a beautiful and suspenseful story about found family. I really enjoyed all the bonus content at the end, seeing how all the art was put together to tell the story.

New post up on Book Riot today sharing some of the absolute best spacefaring sci-fi comics and graphic novels out there
https://bookriot.com/spacefaring-comics/
pickThis comic. THIS COMIC. If I can't sleep tonight it will be because I can't stop thinking about this comic and how unbelievably good it is from start to finish. When all the adults are killed on a spaceship, the AI, Val, becomes their caretaker and protector. Lots of violence but it doesn't feel needlessly gratuitous. The horror sci-fi graphic novel of my dreams.
pickThis is the second TKO book I've read and it is solid. Another quick story. It jumps right in and keeps a good pace throughout. The art seems to suit the story perfectly. Gabriel Walta really does show a lot of emotion in the children throughout. I've never read a story about an AI taking on this maternal figure, but it worked very well. It could have been a much more drawn out and lengthy story, but serves well as a novella.
