'Enough Space for Everyone Else' edited by J.N. Monk is a collection of comics and short stories from a diverse set of creators with stories all set in space.
The concept of generation ships is brought up in the foreword of the book, and it sets a tone of hopefulness for the stories that follow. Maybe someday in the stars we will get along with each other and any creatures we meet along the way. There will be heartbreak and loss, but humans of all kinds can figure things out.
That's the feeling this collection of stories gave me. The art all felt pretty solid. The writing was pretty good. Each story is a few pages long, so if the one you're reading isn't doing it for you, there are others. Fortunately for me, most of them worked really well.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Bedside Press in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Some funny, some sad, some sweet, and some strange short stories set in space, with lots of female protagonists.

A really excellent collection of space-themed short comics from Bedside Press which I backed on kickstarter a very long time ago. One of the stories, "Transplant" by Megan Rosalarian Gedris, was nominated for an Eisner award in 2018. Other standouts included "Turtles" by Jon Inaki, "Art Pirates" by Tod Wills, "Stargazer Jr" by Z Akhmetova, "Habitus" by Ver and "A Pilgrim's Progress" by Sarah Winifred Searle. I appreciated the diversity of the authors included, with contributors of many nationalities represented as well as queer, nonbinary, and indigenous writers.
