Thank you to NetGalley, Skybound, and Image Comics for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Fans of Voltron, Power Rangers, and Big Hero Six are in for an action-packed treat with this new series from Amphibia's Matt Braly and illustrator Ainsworth Lin.

Maise comes from a long line of heroes, tasked with keeping the world safe from space monsters. Of course, she'd rather be a normal teen, hanging with friends, drawing for her school newspaper, or hanging with her crush. But when tragedy strikes her family, her team, Maise has to come to terms with what it means to protect those you love while also not losing sight of yourself in the process.

This first entry in the series was a blast from beginning to end. I am a big fan of Amphibia, so I'm ready to fall in love with Matt Braly's storytelling, character work, and comedy all over again. The family element really helps ground the story and set it apart from its inspirations. Maise's struggle to balance normal teen things with superhero life is one that's been seen again and again, but the way she devotes herself to her family and how she ultimately handles her responsibilities makes it feel fresh. 

Ainsworth Lin's art absolutely flows and creates a real sense of tension with its action. I loved the designs of the monsters and the Moon Troopers feel so nostalgic yet unique. 

Definitely pick this one up for any teen that is interested in kaiju-fighting fun!
