This incredibly vibrant space fantasy had me gripped from the start. Who doesn't love a good father/son bonding moment from the start. Couple this with some fantastic action scenes and very funny jokes. It is as fun and exciting as the cover would lead you to believe, and then some.

This comic can get really dark but it manages to make you feel sucked in and ready to take on each chapter by the end. I binged 2 of the volumes back to back because that's how much it really hooked me. The thick lineart and gritty shading made the comic feel darker and scarier with each page turn.
