"LOST IN THE WILDS OF HEAVEN," Part One: Being a space trucker sounds like a cool job, but in reality, it can be boring as hell. So when recently widowed Gil gets a long-haul gig across the universe, he figures it's safe enough to bring his young son Kadyn along for the ride-that is, until their "big rig" gets bitten in half by a gigantic Space Leviathan! Now separated from his son-with a breached suit that's venting oxygen at an alarming rate-Gil must defy the odds and stay alive long enough to rescue Kadyn. But meanwhile, Kadyn seems to be getting all the help he needs from a talking Space Monkey riding a Space Dolphin... or maybe it's the more

Jul 03, 2019Artist Stephen Green, put a lot of love into Sea of Stars #1, hitting it out of the park with some incredible detailed panels. I'll be shocked if he can keep up the pace through the rest of Volume #1. Sea of Stars #1 comes with 2 covers; CVR A GREEN, and the CVR B by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. There are some retail variants according to Jason Aaron. Read Full Review

Black Nerd Problems - Chris Aiken
Jul 03, 2019The best thing that I can say about Sea of Stars is that it gives readers enough to keep you interested and coming back for more. I do wish we would get to know a little more about the characters. However, it's a great introduction that teases mysteries and sets up an intriguing premise. I don't know where it's going to go but that's part of the fun and I'm looking forward to more. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Jul 03, 2019Sea of Stars is off to a pretty solid start with its first issue. The pulpy space fantasy edges in the direction of cute without compromising a sense of danger and adventure. The final page of the issue suggests that theres real menace coming on the horizon of the next issue. As cute as the first issue is, its really a father-son story of adventure that feels like it could go in interesting directions as a father searches for his son who is being cared for by weird aliens.

Have to say I'm a sucker for space themed content, having said that this is an amazing issue with a whole lot of space, yeah, no kidding. The art is literally everywhere it virtually enhances the storytelling. Science and fantasy is intricately woven together, making it even more fascinating. The dynamic relationship between a father and son goes to great lengths, and that's going to be the key element of this book not to mention the mystery behind the powers of the little boy.

Damn, that was some truly epic shit going in this debut! Hopefully, this comes out on a regular basis, not unlike the goddamned or southern bastards.

Awesome. Aaron is back doing a creator-owned book, and he doesn't disappoint with this opening issue. While a little predictable, the characters are likable already and the art is great. Looks to be a pretty typical son lost for decades while father searches for him story, but as long as Aaron can keep surprises going, I'll keep this in my pull list

8.0
A father-son relationship backed by a trippy space setting and written by two comic book power houses make this worth checking out, but I'm not ready to swear by it yet.

Solid first issue that intrigues me enough to continue.

The attempts to convey emotions and exposition at the beginning are eye-roll inducing. However...it picks up once the Inciting Incident kicks in. The art is pretty decent and the colors are fetching. I'd read more to see where this goes.
