Always been a fan of Adam Warren's brand of humor since I came across his work in both Gen 13 Bootleg specials and his Titans mini-series for DC Comics back in the late 90's. His writing is both funny and chock-full of pop-culture references, and there's usually some serious themes underlying the humorous narrative. This one's no different and it made me chuckle a few times. Now I wonder, was there a sequel?

Awesome, as with a lot of Adam's work

I wish that there was definitely more to the story.
Love all of Adam Warren's work , but I think that some of the stories are tragically cut short. His voluptuous vocabulary and exquisite artwork always makes for a delightful read .

Sure, the book may be an increasingly absurd mess of dark sci-fi "humour" and some webtoons-lookalike manga-inspired artwork,

but Galacta is kawaii as heck and a top tier waifu.

Meta-comedy. Did I just invent a word?

Cosmic entities ranging from Marvel's Living Tribunal to DC's Phantom Stranger are notorious for their lofty brooding. Not so with Galacta. Her musings about life on Earth and elsewhere is punctuated with wry humor and appropriate convoluted language (or what I call "Marvelspeak") as she devours alien menaces to our Pale Blue Dot. The nods to manga like the characters' mouths appearing on the side of their face can be annoying. The coloring is garish, but one has to bear in mind that the color scheme of many a classic comic series clash violently and to criticize loud comic book color schemes is like complaining that Elton John is too flamboyant.
All told, "Galacta, Duaghter of Galactus" is a merry, nerdy, existential romp about existential threats and good table manners.
