Summary:

Jonah is an ex-space marine with a bit of baggage. But that’s not stopping him from exploring the galaxy (far from it). He and Alphius are finding new adventures together, though usually these adventures come with a side of danger. But that just makes them all the more exciting, right?

Review:

Okay, if you pitch a series to me and describe it as Firefly meets Cowboy Bebop, but with a twist – you know I’m going to read it! Enter Space-Mullet Vol. 1. This is the first volume in a new series, and I’ve got to say – it’s got SO much personality. If you’re looking for something new to check out, be sure to give this one a try.

There’s a lot to enjoy about this series, even right from the start. I love the characters and overall atmosphere and especially enjoyed the chaotic quest vibes. I will say that I don’t know the characters all that well (yet), but that will change.

Oh! And let’s not overlook that artwork. Honestly, if I had been on the fence about Space-Mullet, the artwork probably would have sold me on it. I enjoyed the rougher quality – it leans nicely into the space cowboy aesthetic, giving it solid yet unique feel.

Highlights:

• Sci-Fi Graphic Novel
• Misfit Space Adventures
• Firefly & Cowboy Bebop Vibes
