review:
'Captain Ginger: Volume One' by Stuart Moore with art by June Brigman is a about a spaceship crewed entirely by cats.

A group of evolved cats is running a spaceship left behind by humans. The humans are long gone, and left in their place is an alien race called the Lumen. When Captain Ginger boards an abandoned Lumen ship, he starts a mutiny since his own ship is running low on space and supplies. Speaking of space, the cats have a breeding problem as kittens threaten every system on the ship. That along with internal tensions between crewmates makes for an uneasy journey.

I couldn't tell immediately if this was supposed to be comedy or not. There are certainly funny bits, but it feels pretty serious. I also like that the cats act like cats, not necessarily baby humans. The art is quite a bit of fun and I can't wait to read the next volume.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Ahoy Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
