A black hole, unfamiliar galactic destinations, and new extraterrestrial acquaintances make this second adventure on the asteroid/spaceship Potato a wilder ride than the first.Previously, young astronauts Jide and Petra were selected for a space mission led by clone Tobey and Cmdr. G. The crew visits the home planets of the alien students who inhabit this orbiting school: X's Techola, where the equator consists of computer parts; Jemmy's Fabrocal, where her moms and relatives greet the crew warmly and serve them ratulark toenails; Nedu, the planet of Sheila, a reptilian Lizarar, where an egg hunt is underway that determines who will parent the hatchlings who were buried 17 years prior, and more. Jide and Petra's relationship remains contentious, but additional conflicts arise that keep readers guessing, like the power failure of the crew's exosuits, Jide's spontaneously sprouting a beard, and Petra's refusal to forgive Tobey for an elaborate prank on his planet, Tobeyland. Although Brown invents details like the planet Brgltz, where they play brgbllbll with random rules, and creatures like migrating gliblark, he also includes real scientific details like coprolite. Brown's handwritten text and loosely sketched landscapes give this graphic novel a sense of spontaneity and fun. To follow the story fully, readers should first pick up Once Upon a Space-Time! (2020). The main human cast is visually diverse.An imaginative flight of fancy for aspiring astronauts. (excerpt from sequel, author's note) (Graphic science fiction. 8-12)
