This book falls right into line with gory action/horror dystopia films of the 80s and early 90s where the corporation was always capital b Bad: Robocop, Aliens, Total Recall, etc. Since those films are my bread and butter, I felt like I was built to enjoy this.

The art is a consistent delight, though. Bright colors, unique layouts, surprising bursts of gore—it’s a fun comic to look at, front to back. Kangas’ illustrations are expressive and breathe a lot of life into the space station setting, while Nalty’s coloring functions as the series’ secret weapon, injecting lots of personality and playful vibrancy into the pages that highlight and elevate the writing and illustrations. I still wish the storytelling had more going in beneath the surface. I couldn’t help but be disappointed at how quickly the mystery wrapped up, as it skirts over any potential moral dilemmas or interrogations. I even support the thematic slant the comic ends on, but I wanted more from it. Still, this is a breezy, worthwhile read if the pitch appeals to you at all—it does what it says on the cover, so as long as you don’t expect more than that, you’ll have a good time.
