COLLECTS SEA OF STARS1-5
LIBRARY JOURNAL -- All-ages adventure and a savage battle for survival mix as a father and son, separated after a monster devours their spaceship, search the galaxy for each other. In the aftermath of the attack, Gil Starx is stranded, wounded, dangerously low on oxygen, and desperate to find his son, Kadyn, before the homing beacon in his helmet runs out of power. For Kadyn, being lost in space is a thrill, especially after exposure to an ancient artifact grants him amazing powers, including the ability to communicate with a space monkey and a space dolphin who quickly become his companions. When a mysterious woman named Dalla convinces Kadyn to accompany her to her home planet, his animal friends are suspicious-and rightly so, as it's soon revealed that Dalla's interest in Kadyn is self-serving and emphatically sinister. Collecting single Issues 1-5.
VERDICT If Sam Peckinpah had directed a Pixar film, it would probably a lot like what coauthors Aaron (War of the Realms) and Hallum (Star Wars: Vader)
