I absolutely loved the combination of comic & spaceship technical manual. The illustrations were amazing & the cutaways were even better. This is really the perfect book for me — you should see my shelf of spaceship technical manual books!

For me, personally, I’m not keen on the gendering of spaceships as “she” — especially something set in the future. It feels antiquated & always throws me out of stories.

It's a love letter to spaceships! Every page has beautiful hand drawn art that invites you in to take in the details. All of it has a distinct hand drawn quality that I love; it's a distinct visual style.

While it's only part comic to mostly technical manual, I enjoyed the read. Hopefully in the future we'll see a full length graphic novel featuring Skull and contraband poultry.

It's Jake Parker art which I like but I was hoping for more cut-away views than we got. I also thought the comic would be more of a comic but really it's just a way of introducing each chapter.

A gorgeous book on spaceships. I love Parker's work and want more! Would love a video game with his ship designs.
