In this emotional sci-fi story, when the adults aboard a colony ship are killed, it is up to VALERIE, the on-board AI, to help the ship's children survive. But they soon find themselves pursued by a greater danger across the endless expanse of space.

A 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.

5/5

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.

This 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.

This 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.
