Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

 This was not at all what I was expecting from a middle grade graphic novel.  A space crew has an emergency and only 2 survive but they are fierce rivals.  The book explores their competitiveness and their wills to survive.  Beware, this book has a realistic ending, not a happy one.  I loved the artwork and while I did not have a full color galley, based just on the cover, I bet the color added to the artwork will help make the story memorable and long lasting.
