Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Super cute, fun read. The characters are all fleshed out and the art style is gorgeous and kitschy. Wish it was a little longer but that's my only complaint. Cant wait for volume 2!

For a graphic novel called Space Trash, one of the elements that stood out to me from the illustrations, is that the art really sold the grunginess of the setting, which makes sense. You can tell that a bunch of teenagers live there without a lot of supervision other than robots and other teenagers on the student council. From the glimpse I've had of the characters so far, I can tell there is a potential for all of them and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of the hook at the end.

I adored Space Trash and cant wait for volume 2! Oni Press is my favorite comic/graphic novel publisher and I dont think I have read anything that isnt superb that they have published.

Space Trash has likable yet flawed character with complex, developed personalities. There is a constant sense that things are not what they seem and neither the reader or characters know it yet. It also has great queer (particularly sapphic) representation.

The illustration style is bright, vivid, and gorgeous to look at. Graffiti plays an active role in the background so there is always something to look at. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

Wow! I cannot stress enough how gorgeous the illustrations are in this graphic novel. The color palette is vibrant with hints of darkness because they are in outer space after all.

The main characters Yuki, Una and Agatha aka Stab are simply perfection. I love these girls!!! I adore their friendship/ sisterhood.

Space Trash is just as hilarious as it is beautiful to read. The plot was very engaging and the entire concept is just really cool! The whole graphic novel gave off very edgy and feminist vibes. From what I saw there was not a single boy or man at the Hypatia SecondarySchool.

Space Trash was a super quick read because I couldn’t put it down! The ending left me wanting more 😩 I can’t wait to get my hands on the next volume of what I’m sure will be a wildly popular new graphic novel series.

⚠️⚠️SPOILERS⚠️⚠️

Things I’m looking forward to in future volumes:
- Learning what exactly Una did to get kicked out of Mars Technical Institute
- Seeing if a romantic relationship develops between Una and Yuki
- Getting more of the girls back story before the ended up at the school on the moon
- Seeing how the girls relationship evolves with the Hell Bats

Thank you NetGalley and Oni Press for an eARC of Space Trash Vol 1. in exchange for an honest review.

I loved Space Trash Vol 1 and I can’t wait for the next one! The art is amazing and the story too!

Thank you Netgalley for the e-ARC!

Thank you to Oni Press for providing an advanced copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this graphic novel, due to its breath-taking art, unique concept, and interesting characters.

I loved the sci-fi setting, which was beautifully developed and drawn. This was just a first volume so there was a lot of introduction to the world and its characters, but I'm definitely invested now and want to read more!

Thank you so much for allowing me to read an ARC of Space Trash, Volume 1!

I have reviewed it on Goodreads and TikTok and will leave a review on Amazon once it is published.

Thanks again, and here is the text of my review on Goodreads (my review on TikTok is slightly different).


I really enjoyed Space Trash, Volume 1! I loved the artwork, not only the style but the way negative space was used, and how so many other characters were shown just walking or standing nearby, even though they weren’t the focus of the scene. It really helped to flesh out the world.

There’s a point in this volume where you kind of feel like you see the main plot that will drive the rest of the series (and I love this kind of plot so I’m not mad about it), but I also felt like we really got a great introduction to the characters. We get to see these characters’ personalities, a bit of their backstories, and what drives them.

I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

4.5/5 stars

I received a copy of this book from Oni Press via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. I was not compensated in any other way for this review.

An interesting kick-off to a series that'll be an easy sell to anyone who loves Jenn Woodall's style! The art is the strongest part of this comic–– I think the characters will need more than this first volume to be fleshed out enough, but there are bits and pieces of the wider world (universe?) of SPACE TRASH that hooked me into wanting to know more about Hypatia Secondary School. The graffiti, the bots, the mess and inter-clique rivalries of students.

Hypatia Secondary School appears to be gender-segregated, in addition to there being no adults around: where's everyone else? what exactly went wrong on Earth, and what will Stab, Yuki, and Una run into trying to find out? I'm most looking forward to reading more about Kali and her gang of misfits, so I hope they get more space in subsequent volumes!

Gays in space with not a single significant man in sight and I loved every single second of it.
Space trash has a vibrant cast and strong world-building without it feeling information dump. The art is absolutely stunning and Woodall does a good job at making the story feel engaging.

This feels like a solid start to a series and I can't wait to read more!

Sapphics in space. What more could I ask in a book?
It’s the year 2115 and earth has been abandoned to colonise mars, where the wealthy reside and the moon where Yuki, Stab, and Una attend a boarding school for underprivileged youth. The illustrations in this book were beautiful and the background design especially stood out to me. This volume was all about introducing the character and world and picked up towards the last few pages. I’m so excited to see more amazing work from Jenn Woodall in the next volume!
Thank you to NetGalley and OniPress for this arc.

I loved this graphic novel. Earth's dying, school is now held on the moon, and badass girl gangs are banding together. The graphic style was colorful and alluring, the plot was entertaining and immersive and the ending left me wanting to pick up the second volume right this second. If you love sci-fi, sapphic reads, and intriguing plot lines definitely pick this one up.

4/5
thanks to oni press and netgalley for the arc!

this graphic novel was so fun to read! in a world where earth is "uninhabitable", humans have taken to living on the moon, mars, and other places in space. set in a school on the moon with three main characters, we are shown a place where these students get to learn and grow, where their needs are met, where money is not a thing, and everything is provided for them. however, that doesn't seem to be the case, and there is clearly some corruption in the system and history being told incorrectly.
the first book in this series seems to be mostly world-building and character introductions, but the world is interesting and it does it in a way that isn't boring and feels normal for the characters. however, i think where this story really shines is its art! every single character design looks so cool and the art style is fun to look at, unique, and beautiful, you can tell that so much love was put into the character designs! i am so excited for future volumes of this story and can't wait to see where it goes!

This was one of the best graphic novels I have read in a while!!!! Great characters with the most iconic looks and outfits, I mean we all have to appreciate how they were developed so well. None of them merged into a single personality and you could identify each one of the characters for their own quirks. The artsyle is honestly uncomparable. The colors, the illustrations, the dialogue, all of it is on point. You don't get any info dumps and everything that we learn seems to come naturally. I really really enjoyed this volume and can not get over how beautiful this book was. I finished it only on half an hour cause that is how gripping and interesting it was and I absolutely can not wait for the next ones!!!!!!

When Planet Earth was abandoned, human-kind set off to Mars to build a brand new future, a paradise. At least, that's what the privileged and rich will tell you. In reality, those deemed unworthy of the high life instead found themselves on the moon; the land of crumbling buildings, rusty tech, and a healthy dose of good old-fashioned propaganda.
The art style is so so so beautiful, I wish I had all these girls as friends. I already am obsessed with the world too!
I'm disappointed it was so short. It did a great job of setting us up for future volumes but I couldn't help but wish this one had a little more meat to it's bones.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC of this graphic novel!

Earth is ruined, or so the youth who now live on the moon have been led to believe. However, three young women learn this may not be the case and plan an escape back to their native planet.

This is the first book in a planned series, which shows in this graphic novel. A lot of it is set-up and backstory, but none of it felt boring or too forced, which is an impressive feat. The art style is a little grungy, for lack of a better word? I don’t mean that in a bad way! It reminds me of old comics from the 80s. Just not well-versed enough to know the exact term those go by ^^;

This book ends by giving us a huge cast of characters. I liked the three we got to know so far, so I have high hopes for the rest of them, too! I would pick up Book 2 for sure.

Space Trash reminds me so much of the different punk comics I'd read when I was younger, except more feminist and in space. This retro-futuristic astro-punk is a solid read for emerging adults and it feels like something I would have wanted when I was younger. This first volume doesn't have as much action as I was expecting, but it sets up the next volume very well. I'll definitely see where this series goes, and I think there's enough going on here for me to recommend this to some patrons regardless of how they feel about the (very) niche aesthetic.

A breezy opening volume to an interesting, punky SF story. I get "Starstormers" vibes from the premise: they both feature a bunch of teens who aren't necessary all friends and who plan to fabricate their own escape craft from the tedium of their oppressive school.

The characters aren't as young as "Starstormers" though, opening up the opportunity for fun "X has a crush on Y" sub-plots that are very cutely executed.

The art is sold. I like the use of colour and the fact that the characters aren't all willowy superhero body types.

Only caveat for potential readers is that this very much feels like a volume that is putting all the pieces in place: it ends on a pretty big cliffhanger that won't be resolved until volume 2 emerges.

This book is full of super fun, punk, lesbian, space high school vibes and I am here for it.

While some of the silent panels didn’t always seem to work that may have been because I was reading it digitally instead of with glorious paper like a graphic novel is made to be read.

The writing was fun and the art was well done and matched the feel of the topic and writing. Can’t wait for the next installment!

Really cool art and I especially love how easy flowing it was. Each panel is equipped with its own attention to detail, and overall amazing. However, I did not click with the story. Maybe because it's the first in the series or maybe it's just a little below my intake.

The story follows humanity now living on Mars after the supposed failure of the earth to provide. Three teenagers, Yuki, Una and Stab are part of this new life and it's a bit unfulfilling, to say the least.

I liked the characters but again this being the first book there isn't much to build a connection with them so it's an almost fleeting introduction to them but there is definitely a lot of personalisation.

I imagine Jenn Woodall has a long way to go with this and honestly the art alone is reason enough to check this out.

Thanks NetGalley for the arc!

Space Trash is the first volume of hopefully many in a new sci-fi comic series. And it was so much fun to read. I loved the characters and their introductions, and I'm also really intrigued by the mystery that was set up. I can't wait to see what the main characters will get up to in the next volume. On top of that, the artwork is beautiful.
Definitely give Space Trash a chance if you're interested in queer comics and space, you will not be disappointed.
