Loved the art and intriguing premise.
The kid of course was annoying in the way all 5-6 year olds can be (still cute though) and I felt for the father.
The Outer Wilds is home to an indigenous peoples who worship powerful beings as gods. I don’t know enough to say whether the creators of this comic toed the line of stereotypes in either imagery or writing, but wanted to flag just in case.
Worth an afternoon read.

I'm a sucker for anything out by Image. This volume doesn't disappoint. Father and son connecting until strange things happen. Highly recommend.

“A father. A son. And a whole lot of space between them.” This collects the first five issues of Sea of Stars. Which is quite an intense story (father and son trying to reunite) that’s told in a bright, funny, sarcastic way. The story and art do a good job of telling and showing the story. The colouring is amazing

Excellent! Part Jungle Book, part space opera, and part Bear Grylls, Sea of Stars is a new book from Jason Aaron and Dennis Hallum.
In issue 1, a space trucker father and his son become separated in a cosmic incident.
The Dad is on a harrowing mission to find his son, but Kadyn has discovered that in the accident he has gained some mysterious powers. While the boy comes to thoroughly enjoy the space play that his powers enable, his newfound companions are baffled at what he can do--and especially what he can survive.
This book was endearing and intriguing. Plus it was beautiful. Stephen Green and Rico Renzi amplify the storytelling in all the right ways. It was cartoonish yet just gritty enough, fitting featuring an estranged boy and his badass dad.
