'Galaktikon' by Brendon Small with art by Steve Mannion is an irreverant space comic about a pretty unlikeable hero.
Triton, who never removes his mask, is being divorced, for pretty good cause. He's kind of a jerk and probably deserves to be cleaned out. Meanwhile, a major criminal has made a jailbreak. Triton, moping in space, will need to save the day with his sentient ship and robot that speaks in guitar riffs.
It's definitely over the top, and part of me wanted to like it, but it's filled with a bunch of characters I didn't want to care about (except for maybe the guitar riff robot). The art is fine and I liked it well enough.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Albatross Funnybooks, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

I enjoyed this tale of a down-on-his-luck superhero, Triton, whose wife divorces him after he's caught sending a dick pic to an underage stripper. To top it all off, his arch-nemesis escapes from prison and starts dating his ex while Triton is getting mandatory therapy. While on the therapy planet, he gets kidnapped just as he's made a breakthrough, and will be forced to fight with other combatants in a gladiatorial game against a giant monster. Things just aren't going his way. I liked the story arc, the pace was pretty steady, and the character developed well. The artwork was pretty cool, kinda retro, Heavy Metal in the 80s. Also a "making of" sort of thing at the end, explaining the evolution of the story, from the album to the graphic novel, then the short film. If you're a fan of Brendon Small, you'll dig this. If you like snarky superhero space stories, you'll like it. Good cheesy fun.

Dorfwald seems like he should really get his own spinoff adventure.

This one brings a story/universe which is kind of a parody of itself. Exaggeration, humor and absurdity. Some might enjoy this style of comic, but it wasn’t really for me. Probably more for personal reasons than anything else because it wasn’t bad. (appreciation 2/5. Potential for those who like this 4/5, I go with 3/5.).
