5 Stars - I recommend if you enjoy science fiction, or if you are looking for something different to read. I don't love sci-fi, and I had only ever read one graphic novel before this... but I really enjoyed this one!

This graphic novel follows Marko and Alana, two soldiers from different planets as they embark on a journey to start a family and a new life in a dangerous world. It begins with them having a baby, and follows their journey as they are hunted down by members of their own races, as well as other galactic forces who know that the news of their interracial baby threatens the way their world works. Think action-packed, sarcastic, sometimes explicit Romeo & Juliet.

As I said above, I don't read a lot of sci-fi. I don't generally gravitate toward sci-fi movies or anything else, but I had heard really good things about and really LOVED this graphic novel. The illustration, story, dialogue, etc. were very fresh and entertaining. I think it took me about 2 hours to read. If you're looking for something different, or to read a graphic novel, I highly recommend this one. However, please keep in mind this is rated M (mature), so if you're offended by explicit language and sexual content, this is not the graphic novel for you. I didn't find it overly gratuitous, but it's there. I passed it along to KC who also read it in a few hours (during March Madness basketball, lookout!), he loved it too. I can't wait to read the next volumes. Currently recommending this to everyone I know.

So good!!
