SERA AND THE ROYAL STARS, ISSUE #1
Writer: Jon Tsuei
Art: Audrey Mok
Publisher: Vault Comics WHAT IS IT? An Asian/Middle-Eastern adventure story filled with magic and mysticism. I got a kind of Final Fantasy VI vibe from it, but the story carries a lot of the hallmarks of classic epic adventure fiction. WHAT'S IT ABOUT?

KINO, ISSUE #16
Writer: Alex Paknadel
Art: Diego Galindo
Publisher: Lion Forge WHAT IS IT? It's a British superhero story that's part of the greater Lion Forge superhero universe, "Catalyst Prime." This latest run by these creators, however, is less your typical explosions-and-superpowers and more political intrigue, espionage, and deep dives into characters & ethics. It reminded me of a grown-up Captain Britain comic or a darker Captain Marvel. WHAT'S IT ABOUT? (Spoilers for previous issue

WASTED SPACE, ISSUE #9
Writer: Michael Moreci
Art: Hayden Sherman
Publisher: Vault Comics WHAT IS IT? Wasted Space is a sci-fi space adventure that runs on existential dread. Equal parts heavy and humorous, it's like Preacher meets Archer in space, or the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy if it skewed more toward an adult audience. This is the penultimate issue of the book's second arc. WHAT'S IT ABOUT? (Serious spoilers for Vol. 1, some light spoilers for this issue) So, last issue was pretty heavy

WASTED SPACE, ISSUE #8
Writer: Michael Moreci
Art: Hayden Sherman
Publisher: Vault Comics WHAT IS IT? Wasted Space is the funnest existential crisis you'll ever have. It's an intergalactic romp that perfectly balances action, humor, and the worry that all of the decisions you make in your life are pre-ordained. Imagine Preacher meets Archer in space, or maybe Star Wars if it were originally intended for an adult audience. This covers issue #8 only, so you should probably read the previous reviews a
