When a ship crashes and lands on a mysterious planet and some of the surviving crew go missing, the mysterious mechanical hero Radio Spaceman is called to investigate. But the planet hides much more than the missing crew, and Radio Spaceman may be stumbling into more than even he can handle.
Based on Mignola's viral pencil sketches, Radio Spaceman is a steampunk space adventure full of mystery, monsters, and awesome gadgets. Featuring the amazing art of Greg Hinkle (The Beauty, Black Cloud) and colors by longtime Mignolaverse collaborator Dave Stewart, this new series is perfect for Mignola fans old and new!
Radio Spaceman is, for lack of a more encapsulating phrase, very cool, and perhaps that's all he needs to be. Read Full Review
Heres a sentence I did not expect to be tying this week I LOVED Radio Spaceman: Mission to Numa 4 #1, to the point I think its up there with Monkey Meat as one of my favorite comics of the year so far. Read Full Review

There really is a lot of character crammed into these pages. I was quite surprised at just how much has been successfully packed into the 32 or so pages here, enough to paint a pretty decent picture of Radio Spaceman, give a quick idea of what he's all about and set things up for the main core of this story. A fascinating character that I look forward to seeing more of in the future. Grab a copy and launch into the fun! Read Full Review

Chock full of Mignola staples, Radio Spaceman #1 still manages to feel like a separate, lighter, brighter thing. Read Full Review
Radio Spaceman #1 is filled with interesting concepts and bizarre locations, but the flow of the story is disrupted by the lack of dialogue. It's just fascinating enough for me to come back and read the next issue. Read Full Review
The plot is pretty simple but I find myself enjoying this immensely.
Mignola and his carte blanche partnership with Dark Horse produces this pulpy and fun nod to Silver Age space heroes (Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon etc) but in the end will it really matter?
Awesome artwork but left me wanting a bit more. Too much in the way of filler ads. But I really love the character.
ummm okay yeah
