A fun, quick graphic novel with historical references that takes place in space. Lots of action.
3.5/5. Cute! Lots of cats… Interesting idea to have a young Cleopatra in the future. Good, colorful art. And it only begins the story! Some cool looking creatures but that’s not a big focus. Read in one sitting.

For Mike Maihack's first graphic novel, this one is actually pretty amazing. Cleopatra is transported into a futuristic academy on another planet and has to partake in Indian-Jones-style missions to prepare her for her role as messiah of the galaxy. Oh, and there's an organization run by cats. What's not to love?
Great simple dialogue with awesome artwork, this is such a great book. It is easy to get sucked into the story. And Cleo's character is snarky and hilarious. This is a very pleasurable read.
Whether she's walking in on a surprise birthday party or fighting robot mummies, it is always a fun adventure with Cleo by your side. Excellent book. A great read for young graphic novel fans.
I am so excited to read the rest of the series and find out what happens next.

Cleopatra is skipping out on her Algebra lessons with her best friend Gozi when they discover a tomb. They are looking around when Cleo discovers a tablet with a prophecy on it, and the next thing she knows, she has been transported into the future and told that she is the prophesied savior of the universe. Excited about that prospect, Cleo is soon disappointed to find that even in the future she has to learn algebra, along with many other subjects at the local school.
Will Cleo be able to acclimate to her new environment and be able to help stop the take-over of the galaxy by the evil Xerx?
This was a fun graphic novel. The illustrations were beautiful, and I love the idea of Cleopatra, Queen of ancient Egypt, being transported thousands of years into the future and trying to fit in. This first volume did a wonderful job of setting up the story, and I am definitely looking forward to continuing the series.
If you like graphic novels, awesome female protagonists, comedy, and cats, then you should also give this series a chance. I suspect you won't regret it.

Cleopatra from Egyptian history finds a special scroll as a young girl and is thrust forward in time to become the savior of the galaxy. This is just the first of her many adventures. For fans of comic books with female heroines this book is fun and empowering. Cleo, as she likes to be called, is an excellent shot and great at hand to hand combat but really wants nothing to do with book learning, most of all algebra! Nothing like Ancient Egypt in Space to get your imagination churning!Unfortunately we are going to have to wait until 2015 for her next adventure.
A cute Sci-Fi romp! A great Zita the Space Girl read-alike.
