Ya'll, I am in love with this graphic novel.

First of all, the illustrations are absolutely beautiful and really striking. I love the way the colors change depending on the time period of the book. It is so spectacularly and beautifully done.

The characters!!!! The found family is absolutely everything! I love it so much. The friendships between the characters are amazing. I love the plot. I love everything. I want more of these characters and this story and I am in love.

I’m not a huge graphic novel person, but if they were all like this, I might be more inclined. The artwork by Tillie is enrapturing-her use of color and command of space and form truly draws you into the story, slotting you right into place alongside her characters. From the cues in artwork to the just right amount of text, tillie’s story of adventure and queerness and intrigue and found family resonates. I will definitely be rereading this again and again.

I feel like On a Sunbeam was a very nice book. It was a heartwarming story with a beautiful found family, an absolute power-couple, and some fun characters and whacky worldbuilding. But I don't feel like it was a five star for me. I just didn't mesh with it in the way that some people seem to, and that's fine. It was a beautiful book that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a comic that can transport them to outer space, and I especially enjoyed the parts where the crew was restoring space monuments. It is very character driven I would say, but the plot is interesting enough to keep the reader's attention.
