Astronaut Academy: Zero Gravity: Zero Gravity by Dave Roman

5.0

Dave Roman knows something about layers. Like a delicious parfait, Astronaut Academy is a hilarious romp through outer space guaranteed to delight both adult and child readers. The characters are parts adorable, quirky, and deep. Told through short vignettes that delve into the lives of each character, Astronaut Academy allows readers to see the entire picture of the academy and see how it all fits together. Honestly, it defies description but trust me when I say that it should be devoured like a special treat that leaves you remembering the awesome-sauce experience you had. (And for me, it was when Dave Roman referenced not one but three Tori Amos songs in a panel ("Caught a light sneeze, but at least they didn't ruin my precious things... but it looks like I'll be putting the damage on.") And because he is Dave Roman, he can bring in pop culture, quips about authority figures, and the infinite majesty of the cosmos all in one panel.
