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.

thank you Oni Press and Netgalley for the ARC!

Space Trash is the first volume of a comic series.

On 2115, humanity has already abandoned Earth and colonized Mars, where rich people live, and Moon, where poor people live. Our three main character are students at an high school on the Moon and they do not believe what the government tells them.

Obviously this volume is just the premise, so it just sets the context for the real story to start. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it. It alternate light-hearted moments with a bit of mistery, and it has all the premises to become a very good and valid story

The first volume of Space Trash focuses mainly on world building and introducing the reader to the characters. It doesn’t really go beyond teasing the plot for upcoming volumes. This makes the comic quote short and it can be read in a half an hour or less! Saying that it does end on an interesting cliffhanger which makes me interested in reading the next volume! There’s also some sapphic main characters!

It is also illustrated beautifully. The colours are vibrant and the style reminds me of the TV Series ‘Recess’.

I give this book 3.5/5 stars and I would like to check out the next volumes! Make sure to check out this comic volume on September 6th!

Thank you to NetGalley and Oni Press for sending me early access to this comic in exchange for a review!

Space Trash is so, so, so, so much fun. This first volume sets up this series with so much potential. The images are striking and the colour palette is beautiful. The representation in this book, whilst I cannot relate to it, seems to be done well and respectfully and I truly cannot wait to see more from this series.

This first issue has so many good things going on! The art is beautiful, so full of colors and details, and even if in the beginning I wasn't completely sold on it, in the end, I changed my mind, because it is beautiful. And we have some interesting characters, this bunch of teens is pretty amazing, and I love how fierce and how unique they all are!
And sure, this is only the first issue, so we get all set in motion, but we don't have a lot of space for the plot itself, and yet it promises to become interesting pretty quickly!
I really enjoyed it, and if you are in need of something a tad different, with a bunch of spirited teens, who would try and steal your heart, while in space well... try this one out!

In 2115 humans are no longer inhabiting earth, it was deemed a lost cause and everyone has been moved to space. Teenagers go to school, they have strict rules and if they break them their are consequences. Three teenagers in particular are not a huge fan of living in space; Yuki,Una, and Stab. Yuki and Stab grew up together on earth and miss their old lives, they don’t understand why earth was abandoned in the first place, to them earth wasn’t a lost cause. Una has never been to earth but she’s curious as to what it’s like, one day the girls team up with another group of teenagers and what they discover could change everything as they know it.

Okay let’s just start out by saying this…..

GAYS IN SPACE!!!!!

I repeat…

GAYS IN SPACE!

I’m in absolute love with this comic already, the cover is beautiful and don’t even get me started on the characters. All three girls are stunning and have such different personalities, I honestly wish they were my friends. Stab is so adorable I just want to give her a big hug!

I am curious about why we haven’t seen any men or adults in this, I mean that’s weird right? Like where are they?! Why was earth deemed a lost cause? What’s really going on? AND WHO WERE THOSE GIRLS AT THE END?!

I’m excited to see where this goes!

‼️‼️‼️
Also I’m not 100% sure what these teenagers identify as pronoun wise or sexuality so I apologize if I’m incorrect by calling them girls!


Thank you so much to NetGalley and Oni press for giving me this arc in exchange for my honest review!

Space Trash Vol.1 was a short and enjoyable book, perfect for fans of Paper Girls and Mooncakes. I'm a huge graphic novel fan already and this one was right up my alley! YA, lgbtq+ representation, an all-female cast (to my knowledge), and a more lowkey sci-fi setting. My favourite part was the three main characters. They all had very distinct personalities and I can't wait to see more of them.

There were some things I found a little lacking, however. I would have loved some more backstory and the plot was almost nonexistent until the very end. Though I do think there will be much more action in further volumes.

While I don't think Space Trash was a groundbreaking read in any way, I definitely do recommend it.

4.25 stars

Loved the artwork! Held my attention very well-
Looking forward to new volumes!!

To receive an arc in exchange for an honest review- all thoughts and opinions are my own!

This was a fun, snappy graphic novel centered around three girls in a boarding school on the moon. I thought Jenn Woodall was able to create a good atmosphere and three unique main characters in a fairly short amount of time.

The art is beautiful! It was vibrant and bold and really fit the punk aesthetic of the story. The plot is light, but I think it really sets the stage, and the ending left off on a pretty big cliffhanger, so I'm interested to see where the story goes!

This was such a neat concept and really well executed! I love the graphics and I can't wait to read another volume!

I was a bit reluctant with this one at first, but as I read and it gained momentum it really grew on me and I am now honestly deeply excited for both this Volume to get published and to read the next one.

First of all: the artist was fantastic. The character design was simple without losing individuality and easy recognisability, and made for some fun appearances. The environment never felt oversimplified for the sake of skimping on backgrounds and anything that involved perspective was done accurately but still in a way that felt organic enough to match the rest of the art style. The backgrounds for panels were effective in setting mood or lore without drawing attention away from the flow of the comic. I liked the vibrant colours without a real set colour palette, and I can't remember a specific name but it reminded me a lot of the old Sci-Fi comics I read when I was a kid. The only thing I'd like to see the artist explore a bit more is panel dynamics; they had good composition and were easy to follow, but I think with this art style it would be great to see some more experimental or interesting shapes/visual flows here and there, like they did with the gorgeous dreamscape panels.

The font chosen bothered me immensely, solely because of the E that looks like a backwards 3. It made it clunky to read and felt gross to look at. There was one occasion where the letterer wrote the word 'ladies' in a particularly wiggly font that I liked though, because it definitely evoked the same feeling you get if you've ever been called that by a teacher.

I think some of the dialogue felt a bit strange and awkward. Words like "clutz" and "dork" were thrown about which felt quite dated already. Some of the conversations were really abrupt and had sudden unnatural segues to get to the point of the page or plot. There was also more than one bit where there was an excessive amount of text squeezed into one box - it might be better to lessen the text or separate the box up a bit otherwise it feels a little overwhelming. I do think as it went along the visual storytelling really began to take over and those moments were really good, it felt especially fun to notice something specific in the background and begin to guess how that tied in to the main story.

The main plot itself has a straightforward goal that I'm very excited to see more of, and I appreciate that the author didn't spend a lot of time waffling about at the start. I'm very excited to see them try and restore the Minerva and see what happens after.

I did like the characters a lot. I despise the typical comic art that fits everyone into an easily repeatable blueprint, especially with women, and it was nice to see that the artist obviously made an effort to show some variation. I also liked the hint at a relationship, or at least a crush, between Una and Yuki and I'm excited to see how that will develop as well.

Space Trash was such a fun read! It follows three girls, Una, Yuki and Stab, as they navigate through their shoddy moon school. The character designs were awesome, and I loved how color the art was too. I loved all of the little details in the art, and the look we got at the three main characters' personalities and past. Not a ton happened in this first volume, but it certainly laid the groundwork for what's to come, and I'm excited to see where it goes.

Thank you to Oni Press and NetGalley for the ARC!

This was extremely cute, and I'm very excited to see where it goes next. This world is very fun and colorful, with a nice mix of characters. My only complaint is that it was way too short. I would absolutely recommend this as a short, fun read. I will definitely be reading the next installment.

3.5/5
Thank you Netgalley and Oni Press for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.
This was a really cute, fun opening to a graphic novel series I can't wait to continue. The characters are all brilliant and the world is so interesting.
Sapphics in space! That's really all you need to know. Not a man in sight!
I really enjoyed this and I think the next one will be even better. It was super fun and, even in only a short amount of pages, it was easy to connect to the characters.
I will be posting about Space Trash on my TikTok soon.

This is a fun graphic novel with beautiful artwork and interesting characters. While I’m invested in the characters, there isn’t a whole lot of plot happening in the first volume. I’d be interested in seeing a bigger conflict arrive in upcoming volumes. Overall I enjoyed this book and would recommend reading it, but would perhaps wait until more volumes have been released.

This is SUCH a promising start. I loved the art style and the entire concept is fascinating. It reminds me of WALL-E but in a really good way. I'm excited to read the next installment and find out more about each character, especially the gang of bullies the main trio teams up with, the "lackeys" that seem to see all, and Una, with her mysterious past and murky motives. Excellent!

This was one of my most anticipated releases of the year and it did not disappoint. In this first volume we are introduced to the characters and get an idea of this new futuristic life. It's a perfect setup for upcoming volumes. It manages to make us love the characters. The art style is beautiful, really vibrant and perfect for the story. It ends in a kind of cliffhanger that leaves you hooked and wanting to know what will happen in the next volumes.

a group of girls who live/go to school on the moon after everyone has to evacuate Earth??? say no more

first things first - the character design??? absolutely amazing. the premise is wonderful, and after reading it, it was even better than I thought it would be. the main characters are all very unique and interesting, and they make for an awesome friend group. I can't wait to see what happens after this volume!!

First off the art is gorgeous, colorful, and fun in this first volume of a new series! This book is a lot of set up getting to know the characters, which I found all to be likeable and look forward to getting to know more. The setting is an all girls space high school for troubled youth, and as such many of the students have formed their own gangs, such as the Hell Batz and the Planet Stompers. The MC's love coloring their hair and listening to punk music, giving you literally a colorful cast of characters. I hope this series continues to focus on the small details such as the scattered manga volumes of "dodgeball ball passions" and the pop culture throwbacks found in posters and graffiti around the school. You don't get a lot of plot in this first volume, but the ending leads me to believe things are going to get real interesting from here.
