Space Trash, Vol. 1 by Jenn Woodall
4.25
dark funny mysterious fast-paced

The first book in a series, this comic opens in a grungy boarding school on the moon where teen girls slouch through an education which includes propaganda about how the Earth is a ruin and they are very lucky to live in a moon colony instead. Stab, Yuki, and Una keep themselves entertained by dying their hair and brainstorming band and gang names. A fight with a rival clique leads to the reveal of a dangerous secret hidden in the school, and the girls pledge themselves to a massive project, not realizing their movements are being monitored more closely than they realize. An intriguing beginning; I will definitely be keeping an eye out for the next volume! I love the punk space aesthetic by Silver Sprocket artist Jenn Woodall who brings this world vividly to life.
