Earth sucks.


The stars have been blocked out for so long that people have forgotten there was anything else besides the World Government Alliance watching over them. Uma Akkolyte is a girl who shoots first, leaps before she looks, and is desperate for any means to leave her planet behind. And so she does. When Uma jacks an alien spaceship and punches through the stratosphere she sets forth on an adventure with an unlikely crew who are totally not ready for all the good, bad, and weird the universe will throw at them.


From writers Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly (Batman and Robin EternalGrayson) and artist Marcus To (NightwingNew Avengers), Joyride is a rebellious love letter to the sci-fi genre, exploring what happens when nothing stands between a group of teens and their freedom amongst the stars.

Nooo, why did this have to end? I want more!!!

Awesome space badassery, cool aliens, a super cute alien, and THE BEST humans. The world building is A+, the story is SO GOOD, and the art is just perfect.  This is so fun and fresh and I'm so sad I ran out of book. My favourite graphic novel this year!!
