I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
This is a lot of fun - and one of the books that I got in my fandom box. Yay! It's a lot deeper than the original show: it has more character development, and more of a plotline in some ways. It doesn't quite get into the social elements - like helping kids with their science projects - but it more than makes up for that aspect with how much fun this is when you strip it down to it's core - space robots that look like dinosaurs with super power teenagers in charge of them - and then give it better dialogue, and more complicated machinations. Rita is smarter about how she goes about getting what she wants - and she's more ruthless about it, too.
This makes sense: it's something they couldn't show on a kid's TV show, but as a comic for adults? They can draw whatever they want - like going to the moon - without having to worry about a shooting budget, and since they're writing for adults? Well, they can go for the throat.
Looking forward to more of this series!
