The Picks:

They Fell From The Sky TP – Mad Cave Studios launches a new sci-fi series that balances relatable problems with sci-fi elements. Tommy Murphy is just an ordinary kid. He goes to school, hangs out with his friends, and fanboys over his favorite TV show, Space Journeys. His life takes a turn for the extraordinary when a spaceship crashes in the woods near his house and he’s thrust into an unlikely friendship with an otherworldly creature. Between navigating bullies, family squabbles and tween woes, he must also try to prevent an interplanetary war! Reading like Lilo and Stitch meets Stranger Things, this is a title that middle school readers and adults alike will find a lot to relate to and enjoy.

Star Beasts TP – Oni Press sets off into space for a cosmic adventure of family and friendship. Bandit is a dog who leaves his loving family on Earth to join the secret order of the Star Beasts. These comic creatures are sworn to protect Earth and spread goodness throughout the universe. As the new captain of the ship Condor, Bandit has trouble fitting in at first, but when powerful ancient relics are suddenly stolen, he and his crew must band together. They go on a kick-asteroid space race to collect the deadly galactic fossils before the evil emperor of Pluto, Khaos Krill does and builds the Novataur, an ancient monster that could wipe out all of Earth’s species! Mixing humor, loyalty and adventure, this title will appeal to fans of Zootopia, Mouse Guard, and Tiny Titans.
