5.0

I heard about this series through a friend whose taste is impeccable. Also the plot was totally up my alley: an epic space adventure about star-crossed lovers that's also about parenthood? I'm sold. The characters and worlds are wonderfully creative, vivid and interesting both in terms of the way they are drawn and the way they are written. There are freelance bounty hunters that are always known as The [Blank], royalty with old-school CRT monitors for heads, a Lying Cat, spaceship trees, ghost babysitters, and lots more fun and interesting things. Of course as with many graphic novels, it's got its share of nudity and violence, but as someone who grew up reading manga and watching anime, it doesn't feel over the top or gratuitous.
