LIBRARY JOURNAL --
All-ages adventure and a savage
battle for survival mix as a father and son, separated after a monster devours
their spaceship, search the galaxy for each other. In the aftermath of the
attack, Gil Starx is stranded, wounded, dangerously low on oxygen, and desperate
to find his son, Kadyn, before the homing beacon in his helmet runs out of
power. For Kadyn, being lost in space is a thrill, especially after exposure to
an ancient artifact grants him amazing powers, including the ability to
communicate with a space monkey and a space dolphin who quickly become his
companions. When a mysterious woman named Dalla convinces Kadyn to accompany her
to her home planet, his animal friends are suspicious-and rightly so, as it's
soon revealed that Dalla's interest in Kadyn is self-serving and emphatically
sinister. Collecting single Issues 1-5.<br />VERDICT
If Sam Peckinpah had directed a Pixar film, it would probably a lot like what
