Sea of Stars Volume 1: Lost in the Wild Heavens

A stupid space fantasy about a father and son trying to survive after their spacecraft is destroyed and they are separated. The boy thinks he is an orphan, but shakes it off pretty quickly when he realizes he gained super powers during the accident and falls in with a snarky group of new "friends" who would all kill him if not for his powers. The father fights desperately against a variety of deadly threats as he scrabbles after his son's trail.

There is a poor parody of the Aztecs -- unimaginatively called the Zzazteks -- interested in the boy's power and ready to kill everyone else in their way. And space is filled with all sorts of monsters that don't need to breathe, but just swim around in it like fish, because why not?

I was show more interested in the book when I saw Jason Aaron's name on the cover, but he's only half of the writing team and nothing on the pages grabbed me at all. Dull and dumb. show less

This comic only grudgingly gets the tag 'science-fiction' from me. It's more like pure fantasy. Either way it's a mess, with space monsters, space Aztecs, breathing in space without a space suit. Confusing art and bad story.
