A review by jammeepler
Space Boy Volume 1 by Stephen McCranie
5.0
Space Boy feels like a classic, long-lost 80s Japanese manga in color. It's easily one of my favorite books I've ever written and one of the best webcomics I have ever encountered. If there is anything I had to ding about it, the opening chapter is a poor teaser for the story to follow. The second chapter, however, is perfect.
We follow Amy, a 16 year old girl who lives on a distant mining colony owned by a corporation. She's been there her whole life and, when she suddenly has to leave, the consequences hit harder than the saddest scenes of Interstellar. She goes into cryo sleep for 30 years and takes a long road to adapting to Earth gravity and culture. The book still has such an infectious energy, optimism, and enthusiasm.
