Space Trash Vol. 1 by Jenn Woodall
2.0
This feels like half of what should be here. And that makes sense, it's only 96 pages. A standard comic book is 32 pages, so this looks like a 3-issue run, whereas most graphic novel collections are going to be 5-6 issues (160-192 pages). And the price is pretty steep, for just 96 pages!
This is setup. We're updated on what's happened with the world in the last hundred years: Earth is abandoned, and pretty much everyone still alive is on the moon or other off-planet colonies. There's little whispers that Earth ISN'T abandoned (and I'd bet, in any potential volume 2, we find that it's just the ultra-rich left there), but the closest we get to even CONSIDERING finding out is seeing a derelict rocket ship that MIGHT get used in a volume 2.
This just came out with too little substance to DO anything. It needs to be twice as big, and actually go somewhere. The art is fine, and the feel of the characters is okay, so I think Woodall could make something cool. But she wasn't even given a chance to get up to speed.
