The Siren of Space returns for a series of all-new adventures by a dynamic new creative team! Multi-award winning author SARAH HOYT and rising star artist MADIBEK MUSABEKOV are at the controls as Barbarella leaves space dock on a new mission fraught with unseen layers of danger, duplicity and perhaps a dose of romance! Camelot is home to the rich and powerful class seeking escape from an increasingly crowded and decaying galactic empire. Desperate clandestine transmissions from an enslaved underclass bring Barbarella to investigate, uncovering secrets that lead to more secrets-and the distinct possibility that someone knew she was coming. High concept sci-fi meets the greatest aspects of the human soul in a series that will reveal wonders that both terrify and delight, plus covers by fan-favorites LUCIO PARILLO, DERRICK CHEW, BRIAN BOLLAND and more!

Reviews

If you're unfamiliar, Barbarella started as a European comic strip in 1962. Yep, Europe in the 1960's was apparently wild and way saucy. But wait! There's more! She was also portrayed in a wild and saucy film by Jane Fonda in 1968. It took the Avengers 49 years to get from comic to screen, perhaps because they solve their problems with hitting instead of...saucy.
This debut issue has really solid writing and art. You'll love it if you're in the mood. You might not if you don't feel like it. I'm not going to make you read if you don't want to. Highly recommended for fans of Italian science fiction movies from the seventies, those fond of Fonda, and for anyone hungry for the type of book dynamite does well. Hungry like a wolf, even.
