Show Notes

You guys, this is literally the most beautiful comic art we have ever seen. There's an alien corgi robot. You MUST see him. He is everything.

Taylor struggles to feel herself in the town of Ozma gap--stifled, controlled, and forced to live in hiding as a human boy when her true identity is the alien princess known as the Galaxy Crowned. But when a new, vibrant girl from the city comes to town and draws Taylor in, she starts to realize that she not only hates the mask--there's space in the world for her to make the choice to ditch it, and people who will celebrate the true person who will be revealed.

This week we read Galaxy: The Prettiest Star, by Jadzia Axelrod and Cait Zellers. next week will be a minisode, and then we will be reading X-Men (1991) #1-3: Rubicon. We welcome you to read along with us!
