This book was so gay and I loved how much it leaned into the theme of found family - every single woman is so hot and written with so much love. What a fun series this is turning out to be!

*Now available in print!*
But the family we chose molds who we are.

Cosmoknights is BACK with bigger thrills, higher stakes and what is honestly an even better volume than the already amazing first one. Incredibly fun and also incredibly queer, Cosmoknights will have you cheering for these plucky heroines through the breathtaking visual spectacle that is Hannah Templer’s artwork. Volume 2 picks up mere days after the first with the crew heading into greater and greater dangers with each twist and turn of the plot. This volume feels rather expansive, bringing in more players to this complex political plot of disrupting empires and rescuing princesses. But do the princesses want to be rescued? And is there a more productive way to punch up that might not be with giant mech fists in an arena? Cosmoknights Volume 2 is a graphic novel you do NOT want to miss.

This series just got even more badass than I thought possible

Templer does an excellent job of portraying the difficulties of group dynamics when everyone has a different idea of what is the right thing to do and also how to accomplish that. Bess and Cass have been fighting in the ring for years, but now Kate has bigger plans and believes the cosmoknights are merely pawns in a game of resources that always manages to stay in the wealthy families and wants to tear them down and expose the games for being a sham. But has anyone ever asked the princesses what they want, and could they do more by resisting from on the throne? It’s a delightfully tangled web with a lot of strong opinions and hard feelings. But there are so many other wonderful moments, from space battles, lots of flashbacks to childhoods, Pan getting bluntly hit on and being oblivious to the whole thing and even a good old fashion bar brawl. This is all brought to life in gorgeous artwork with bright bold colors that portrays the galaxy in diverse aesthetics. What Templer seems best at, however, is noir vibes and I LOVE that.

Volume 2 will be out in June so I don’t want to say too much, but get ready! This is a fantastic series and I’m already eager for the inevitable next volume. Things get a LOT larger here and the stakes are becoming astronomically high, but this group has a lot of fight left in them. This series is adorable and gripping and I just love it so much.

5/5
