Space Junk | Julian Hanshaw
1 post | 1 read

Faith has a metallic mystery bolted to her head. Hoshi keeps his rage in check with an emotional support chicken. On a dying world where most adults have already left and the remaining kids are training for their turn, these two are starting to wonder “what’s the point?” Gradually, a cluster of lonely souls who’ve spent their lives emotionally adrift are pulled into one another’s orbits as they try to stay in place in a universe that is moving all too quickly.
With Space Junk, the startling imagination of award-winning graphic novelist Julian Hanshaw explores profound questions of past and future, trauma and recovery, staying grounded and taking flight.

I enjoyed the funky art style, cool tones, and apocalyptic space setting. The two main characters are poignantly vulnerable teenagers stuck fending for themselves on a dying planet abandoned by most of the adults in their lives. The book has a gritty yet inspiring message on the powerful impact of social connection on resiliency, as the two teens bond over their shared therapist and bullies.
