review:
'Infinity 8 Vol. 1: Love and Mummies' by Lewis Trondheim with art by Zep and Dominique Bertail is a kind of silly space story, but I kind of liked it.

The Infinity 8 is a deep space cruiser with lots of different species on board. Yoko Keren is a security officer. When the ship finds an odd debris field, she is sent to investigate. What she finds is a large collection of corpses from spaceship and planets and even old buildings floating in space. An alien race on board the Infinity 8 goes into a feeding frenzy because they like to feast on the dead. The only problem is that they kind of take on the personality of what they ingest. So some become love hungry, and some become power mad. Now the only person able to help the ship is Keren, with the help of her over-infatuated alien partner.

It was a kind of goofy story, but I liked how it played out. It reminded me a little of some of the funny space stories from Heavy Metal magazine. The art is ok too. I like how the aliens seemed to morph a bit based on what they were eating.

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