This one really stunk. I shouldn't be overly surprised. I didn't like Zdarsky's Sex Criminals either, though that one was at least better than this one. 
 2 stars because there were occasional decent bits, but overall I regret reading it. It's really bordering on that 1 star. There were quite a few times I thought about DNF, but I kept going because it's so short. 
 The writing was just slipshod. The world building was haphazard. It seemed like it tried to be Saga but had no base to make it feel real. Saga feels like a real universe, this just felt like garbage thrown together to feel kooky. There was a lot of weird stuff everywhere, but for weirdness sake. 
 The characters were a mix of things. The main guy, a gay biological scientist that is used to being bullied ends up on this weirdo planet and is totally fine with not going back to earth because everyone there sucks. Being gay only kind of has a purpose to his character. Like much of the rest of the book, it seems tacked on just so the main character is gay. A lot of the other characters seem to be kind of stereotypes. The physics scientist is a military brodude that bullies the weak gay bio guy. (He's also the first to die inexplicably) The pilot is gung ho Mr. Handsome, no challenge too small (second to die). On the alien planet there are humans (more or less) with a prince that is full of himself but is actually a bumbling fool. A guard that is totally into his job and has a HISTORY (not revealed). A cat thing hunter lady. A motivational orb (floating orb with cheezy situational one liners). And a mix of other stuff. 
 The artwork wasn't horrible, but I didn't really care for that either. It had really awkward posing. Overly vibrant colors on just about everything (too much). Sloppy line work. Everything was ...bubbly, for lack of a better word. I don't know if there were hardly any straight lines in the entire book. Just not for me overall.
