Astronauts in Trouble : Live from the Moon GRAPHIC NOVEL [Paperback]
Larry Young (Author), Matt Smith (Author), Charlie Adlard (Author)
DRAWN BY THE CO-CREATOR OF WALKING DEAD!
The world's richest man decides to use his wealth to start a colony on the moon. When an eco-terrorist group tries to sabotage the mission, the news crew becomes the story as they're forced to head to the moon in place of the astronauts!
Fifty years after Armstrong's one small step, the world's richest man claims the moon as his own personal property... and Channel Seven is there! This graphic novel shows what happens when absolute power corrupts absolutely, when The Mob has nuclear first-strike capability, and when cows jump over the moon. Witty banter, one-sixth gravity derring-do, and an explosive finale from a tale that Sci-Fi Universe says has "a wide-eyed sense of wonder and a clear appreciation for adventure-based science fiction." This book is like "Die Hard" meets 'Broadcast News" on the moon and was nominated for the American Library Association 2002 Popular Paperbacks.
Review
