Promo: Kaptara
Media: A one-volume comic series (on hiatus)
Approximate Length: 128 pages
Where to Find It: Available in both print and digital format. See the Image Comics series page for a list of where to purchase online and links to a comic shop locator.
What It's About
Kaptara is a delightfully silly sci-fi/fantasy romp about Keith Kanga, a gay xenobotanist who crash-lands on an absurd alien planet. Jaded by his experiences with bigotry, he's more than happy to leave Earth behind for good—until an alien threat to his home planet inspires him to (reluctantly) set off on a heroic quest with a dry-witted tracker, a half-witted prince, a hovering orb that can only communicate through motivational slogans, and a by-the-books warrior who just might be the man of Keith's dreams.
Meet Keith and Manton.
What I Love About It
Chip Zdarksy's writing and Kagan McLeod's art make me laugh out loud, but the humour wouldn't work half as well without the real feelings at the core of all the silliness. Keith's motivations are understandable, and the burgeoning understanding between him and Manton is legitimately sweet.
I'm Requesting
Keith/Manton! The series went on hiatus after the first volume, so there's a ton to explore, from a proposed take on the rest of the arc, to slow-burn romance, to future wacky space adventures. The improbably coloured sky's the limit.
