"Kara got introduced in the best way possible and the artwork is so perfect for a pulpy space sci-fi book. I'm hooked. They better not screw up their director search for this one the way they did for The Brave and the Bold." — Jun 18, 2023 05:43AM

“A family,鈥� he said with a grunt. 鈥淣ever had one of those before.鈥� 鈥淚 knew it,鈥� she said softly. 鈥淲hat? That I was lonely?鈥� 鈥淣o,鈥� she said solemnly, 鈥渢hat you were the child of a couple of particularly ugly rocks.鈥� He glared at her. 鈥淵ou know,鈥� she said, 鈥渟ince you have no family. Must be rocks.

“Gatsby is a critique of the American Dream. The only people who end up rich or successful in the novel are the ones who start out that way. Almost everyone else ends up dead or destitute. And it鈥檚 a critique of the kind of vapid capitalism that can鈥檛 find anything more interesting to do with money than try to make more of it. The book lays bare the carelessness of the entitled rich鈥攖he kind of people who buy puppies but won鈥檛 take care of dogs, or who purchase vast libraries of books but never read any of them.”
― John Green, The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet
