    There's a real punk feel to this book, as there was with the last arc, which is by no means a bad thing. In fact, it's a breath of fresh air, if that air came from a sweaty bar, blasting Black Flag or Sabbath, and it came through the window from a man called Bubba. Bubba seems like a really nice guy though, once you get to know him. In summary, buy this book. You owe it to yourself, really. Read Full Review

    Pastrami Nation - Nolan Smith Apr 4, 2017

    For me, this is like a Rated-R Guardians of the Galaxy- a space faring team out to right the wrongs of the galaxy, and maybe get paid in the process. This is a great kick off issue for the new series, and places this title firmly back on the radar. If you dont mind a few swear words here and there, then I have no doubt you will enjoy the return of the Space Riders, maybe as much as I did. Read Full Review

    Melding science fiction action, Mexican culture, and mysticism Space Riders: Galaxy of Brutality #1 stands as yet another wholly singular but wildly entertaining experience. Fabian Rnagel, Jr. and Alexis Ziritt clearly just created a book that they would want to read and it just so happens that that book is really cool, looks tremendous, and is, arguably, one of the most punk rock comics on shelves. Black Mask Studios has built a reputation of being a company in the business of taking chances on books like this and many others. Space Riders: Galaxy of Brutality #1 makes that a chance worth taking. Read Full Review

    Graphic Policy - christopher scott author Jun 18, 2017

    The colorful, almost psychedelic art style by Alexis Ziritt continues on creating a comic that stands out from so much else on the shelf. It continues a high contrast environments, and characters. And when all is said and done, each panel is a small work of art in the process as well. Read Full Review

    Imagine the ancient cosmic horror that swirls about Grant Morrison's shiny dome, shot through the prism of Pink Floyd'sDark Side of the Moon. Imagine a hero, flawed, vicious, and awesome, flung outside of his Skullship Santa Muerte to tossjaegers from itshull like we would a tick on our scalp.Capitan Peligro has returned to us, freeing refugees from shithead Vikers with a laser blast and a righteous sneer. Life isa better thing whenSpace Riders is allowed to soar so high. Read Full Review

    Comic Crusaders - David Lee Martins Mar 29, 2017

    The strength of this book is how unique and fresh it is. The Capitan is written to be a badass and the book evokes a Grindhouse mixed with Sci-Fi movie feel. The writing is passable, but this book is all about the art, action, and tone. I loved every page. If you are looking for a unique, retro, pulp book with psychedelic colors that is all about fun and doesn't take itself too seriously, pick up Space Riders: Galaxy of Brutality. Read Full Review

    Space Riders is like a throwback to those generic bad-ass action movies we used to get in the 80s and 90s. This dude is here to kick the bad guy's ass, snarling, cursing, and looking cool in every shot. Why is he the good guy? Because he looks so cool. Why are they the bad guys? Because they're against him! Again, that may not be for everyone, but it's a lot of fun for people who do enjoy it. Read Full Review
