For fans of Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Firefly, the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, or just plain ol campy fun sci-fi in space. I enjoyed this first issue of Meteora, for its daring new adventures of a high-spirited space smuggler and her big furry companion. The art and writing hits high, with some awesome coloring too.

Meet Midnight, a secret agent superhero street cat. With the help of his fellow Hero Cats, he stands against the evil forces of the villainous Crow King. i love the use of shadows and colorplay throughout, as the story has a suspenseful gritty edge to it. It’s a side story within a shared universe, but standalone and can be enjoyed as such.
