Be an OUT OF THIS WORLD reader this summer! Come to our liftoff celebration with graphic novelist, Dave Roman, and make graphic novels a part of your summer reading!
Hakata Soy's past life as the leader of a futuristic super team won't stay in the past!
The former space hero is doing his best to keep his head down at Astronaut Academy. Things aren't going so great, though. The most popular girl in school has it in for him. His best friend won't return his calls. And his new roommate is a complete jock who only cares about Fireball.
Hakata just wants to make a fresh start. But how will he find time to study Anti-Gravity Gymnastics and Tactical Randomness when he's got a robot doppelganger on its way to kill him?
Dave Roman is the author/artist of the Astronaut Academy series, writer of Teen Boat! and Agnes Quill: An Anthology of Mystery. He has contributed stories to the Flight series, Explorer: The Mystery Boxes, and is the co-author of the New York Times bestselling graphic novel, X-Men: Misfits. Roman worked as a comics editor for the groundbreaking Nickelodeon Magazine from 1998 to 2009.
