After five long years of soul-crushing servitude as a chef's assistant, Danny Sheridan is getting his dream job in space as First Officer aboard the SS George H.W. Bush. But on his first day he finds himself crashing back to reality. Nothing seems right, the crew is subpar . . . something's going on, and First Officer Danny Sheridan is going to get to the bottom of it or die trying.
Fans of Star Trek and comedy sci-fi will likely check this one purely for the pedigree of writer David A. Goodman, who was a writer on both Enterprise and The Orville. Space Job should have much broader appeal, however, and will be enjoyable to anyone who enjoys a good laugh. It boldly goes where no parody has gone before! Read Full Review
Space Job #1 is the surprise of the week. I didn't expect a ton going into it, just a riff on Trek, but the debut had me laughing multiple times and smiling throughout. I'm a fan of “holy shit” type of humor and this comic is deep in that keeping readers on their toes as to what messed up situation is going to be revealed. This is a hell of a debut and has me excited to see where this series, and these screw-ups, boldly go. Read Full Review

Since The Orville veered more into straight sci-fi as it progressed, Space Job feels like an alternate timeline where the show went in the opposite direction. It's one familiar premise crossed with another but executed well enough to hit the mark. Read Full Review
Nice touches abound in Space Job #1. A few include colorful Star Trek-style uniforms with a NASA-like logo, and names reminiscent of characters on Babylon 5 and Star Trek Enterprise. Fans of The Office may feel well served by Space Job #1, but readers who yearn to boldly go may end up feeling Lost In Space. Hopefully, the next issue will address seeming inconsistencies, water the seeds of mystery planted in Space Job #1, and include a consignment of dilithium crystals to propel the series to warp speed.

Whilst not wholly my cup of tea, there is enough familiarity from the inherent influences to create a general interest in the book. How and if this translates into enjoyment and genuine belly laughs will depend on what's to come. "Ahead full impulse, seems to be the course of action here. Read Full Review
