Dr. North and her crew of scientists are traveling in a space ship to a far away planet when the ship crashes. Only Dr. North and one other crew member survive. They must each make their way to the reserve shuttle that only seats one in the hopes that they get there first.

I never once got to enjoy this graphic novel of a stranded astronaut, and whichever race against time it was she was facing. Too often I was struggling to work out what the heck I was reading – something about crabby women, and possibly a flower... I gave up too quickly.

A graphic novel about survival . Two officers battle to secure and escape pod. The graphics are exceptional as is the story line. This is a standalone but hopefully not the last novel by the author nor the characters.

Black Star is an entertaining science fiction story, told in visual and textual form. An enjoyable graphic novel ride and I love the author/artist’s style.

Very confusing graphic novel about a mission to get the flower and if not the flower the seed of a plant that save humanity. There are only two survivors in the mission, North and Pattish when an asteroid storm destroys the ship and put the shuttle ship that could save them, four days walk away from them.

What is never clear is why Pattish is so angry at North, and who we should be rooting for. Shouldn't we be rooting for someone? But we have no idea why North should survive more that Pattish should. And why is NOrth so angry at Pattish. Is Pattish the one that we should be rooting for.

The point of view is of North until near the very end, where it switches to Pattish.

Nicely drawn, however, even if confusing.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review

I want to start this off with the complete insanity that the "rescue" ship is only built to handle one person. Like I get the odds are grim just generally in this world but I feel like that's insane like assuming everyone made it out of the crash, how does a crew make that decision of who to send back.

But once you get past the lack of forethought on what are we going to do if things go down. This story is action-packed from beginning to end, it is definitely a page-turner and leaves you on the edge of your seat the entire read. Because up until the last page you really don't know how this is going to turn out

As I was reading I really ended up feeling like this was a commentary on humanity, and how it is easy to put your survival over everyone elses.
