Emotional Response: Engaging
Thought Provoking: New ideas came up
Cover: Matches the story well

Fun escapism story featuring a sort of hybrid human with a saiyajin-esque alien race named Rohan. Lives in a space station where he tugs spaceships to port, has lunch a lot, chats with friends, goes on dates, slugs kaijus and aliens in outer space. Worth reading to have fun.

For fans of Guardians of the Galaxy with some real grit like Watchmen or The Boys. These ‘superheroes’ will save the galaxy, but they will also snap your neck for looking at them wrong.
