A review by saidtheraina
Astronaut Academy: Zero Gravity: Zero Gravity by Dave Roman

3.0

I warmed up to this a lot as I went. At first, I didn't really get it - it feels like a homage to manga, not only in style, but in vocabulary and speech patterns. I'm not a reader of manga, so I kept trying to figure out if it was actually a rough translation of something from Japan, or something. But after a while, I got mostly used to the affectation.

This is a series of slices of life and/or character studies of the students and employees at Astronaut Academy. As we went along, I was impressed by the subtle depth of the characters, and the way each story interwove with the rest of the world. Some impressive world-building here. This would be a great book to include in a "graphic novels are harder to read than you think" booklist.
