Nonsensical garbage.

NEVER GIVE UP…NEVER SURRENDER!!
Having just recently watched and adored the movie from the 90s, I knew I had to read this graphic novel continuation. While it’s technically not a masterpiece, it does an excellent job of translating the humor, heart, and charm from the big screen to the illustrated page! It was nice to see all the characters I loved from the film again for a new adventure, and the plot was pretty decent for a comic book tie-in.
The only complaints I can really think of is that the story picks up almost in medias res and it’s not until chapter four that I completely understood the context of what was happening. I feel like starting in the midst wasn’t needed. The other thing is some of the characters looked absolutely nothing like in the movie. I don’t know if that was a licensing thing or an artistic choice, but it took me awhile to get used to some of the character designs.
Still, this is above all else a loving tribute to fans of the cult-classic film. If you’re like me and enjoyed the film, definitely check this out!

3.5/5. This was my second time reading it in my life and it starts rough but gets better as it goes along and by the time it ended I was so happy to have read it! I love the idea of all these actors facing their fears, especially Jason and Alexander. It’s nice to get more Galaxy Quest content.
Minus one star for not enough Guy.

I think fans of the movie should enjoy this comic! It took me a while to get used to the art (not all of the characters look exactly like the movie stars who play them), but the art was still attractive. The story was something that seemed like it could serve as a movie sequel. A must for fans, but probably people who haven't seen the movie would see little point in reading it.

I watched the movie then I discovered there's a sequel comic (graphic novel). It was enjoyable mainly because its more Galaxy Quest. I can't recommend paying full cover price (20US or 25Cdn)but if you're a fan of GQ , its worth checking out at the library or a bargain bin if you're lucky like I was.

Great comic! I found this for a $1 at one of my local comic book shops and couldn't resist picking it up. I love this and wish I could find the next ones. Pretty funny and the characters are just like they were in the movie (in terms of behavior and mannerism, not looks.....Taggart looks nothing like Tim Allen in this comic).

Didn't have the spark of originality of the movie, which made it kind of a slog to read. Also, the whole Judgement Ship... been done, old hat, Red Dwarf! Also, what's with the sidelining of Laredo and Guy? I get Guy, it's funny, but Laredo?

This book started off so great, and then it exploded like a supernova. I should have been satisfied with the ending from the movie.

A good follow up to the movie

Pretty much what I expected. Not as good as the movie. It felt rather rushed and not well planned out. Still, not a horrible book either.
