Description
Corgi shenanigans, epic space battles, and intergalactic heroes abound in this uplifting, action-packed adventure about the powerful connection between humans and their pets from GLAAD Media Award nominee Ben Kahn (Renegade Rule, Elle Campbell Wins Their Weekend) and illustrator Georgeo Brooks (Immortals Fenyx Rising: From Great Beginnings).
Eleven-year-old Reuben Mahmud just wants a break. When he takes his pet corgi, Mr. Muffins, to the park, he expects to get just that—a break. But what he gets instead is an alien invasion right smack dab in the middle of his neighborhood! Oh! And apparently Mr. Muffins is the chosen one destined to save the galaxy? This should be interesting . . .
Dragged into the middle of an epic space war, Reuben learns that the fate of the entire galaxy rests in Mr. Muffins’s adorable corgi paws. It’s going to take a lot more than tail wagging and butt waddling to end this war. To turn the tide of the conflict, intergalactic soldier Cassara must show Mr. Muffins how to tap into his cosmic power and be the hero the galaxy needs him to be. But when Mr. Muffins is separated from Reuben and a formidable giant mech-corgi arrives to conquer the world, Mr. Muffins’s powers are put to the test. Will Reuben be able to rise to the occasion to help his fluffy best friend? Do Cassara, Reuben, and Mr. Muffins have what it takes to end this war once and for all?

One of those books where you will root even for the villians!
This is one such graphic novel filled with action and adventure with aliens, a young boy and his dog! And our corgi has a very important role in the plot and I am going to recommend this graphic novel for this super corgi named Mr. Muffins! The name 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Our boy Reuben Mahmud cannot wait to grow up and is fed up of everyday boy responsibilities he has to deal with. But somehow he gets kidnapped by one unexpected being from another universe and yes the story starts!
Read this for the fight to save the galaxy and of course you will be happier by the end of it!
Thank you, Oni Press, for the ARC.

Thank you to NetGalley & Oni Press for the arc of this book.
This is a graphic novel for middle schoolers, but even at 36 years old I absolutely loved this and laughed out loud at times. The artwork is stunning! The story is lighthearted while also providing such great messages.
I think my 10 year old son would absolutely love this and I will be buying this when it comes out.

Mr. Muffins: Defender of the Stars is an absolutely delightful graphic novel about a corgi, a space war, and the exceptional bond between a pet and their human. This was SO much fun, and I loved illustrations. Everything was bright and colorful, and the plot was full of fun space battles. It was definitely a little light on heavy plot, but perfect for the youngsters.
Thanks to NetGalley, Ben Kahn, and Oni Press for the chance to read and review. My opinions are my own!

I received an advanced copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
While he didn’t do homework, eleven-year-old Reuben and his dog (a corgi), Mr. Muffins, are playing at the local park. Until space aliens arrive and proclaim that the corgi is the new chosen one to save the galaxy from evil. Reuben and Mr. Muffins venture into space alongside their new alien friend, Cassara, a rogue soldier who believes in the dog’s new powers. Can Mr. Muffins save the day despite wanting more pets and cuddles?
It is a short and fun read about one special corgi destined to save the universe: the fight scenes in space were epic, especially the evil corgi machine. I laughed every time that older man, who was reading the newspaper, always mentioned how incredible movie sets were getting these days. Mr. Muffins is an adorable corgi and is always ready to help someone if given a few treats or snuggles.
