Zack Giallongo and Stephanie Yue’s Novasett Island is exactly the kind of high quality all-ages material that the industry needs to strongly get behind and support with well printed books and well placed marketing. The artwork and storytelling is reminiscent of the clean presentation style of Bone (but don’t get me wrong, it isn’t just a carbon copy of Jeff Smith’s look) and the open-ended concept lends itself incredibly well to a variety of stories.
I enjoy browsing through Novasett now as an adult, and as a kid I would have gone bonkers for the appealing cast of characters and swashbuckling adventures they go on.
Besides, anything that has a creature called an UPO (Unidentified Puppy Object) is aces in my book.
