So, in case you didn’t see, I’m finally cashing in all the good will I’ve been building up.

Okay…that makes it sound horrible and this if for charity, so I’m just really glad to finally let you all know about something amazing.  The list of creators is in the article, so rather than listing everybody’s credits right here, I’m going to try and hit you with some twitter handles for people working on our Princeless anthology so you can go find their other amazing work yourselves!

A comiXologist Recommends:
Harris Smith recommends Planet Gigantic #1

Just looking at their logo, a chubby dog rocketing through the air in a jet pack, tells you everything you need to know about indie publisher Action Lab.  For the past several years, they’ve been curating a line of cute, clever and creative comics, building up a formidable catalog of titles, from girl-power focused kids books like Princeless and Molly Danger to postmodern takes on the detective genre in Jack Hammer and Pirate Eye to gutsy mature readers titles like the wholly original sci-fi epic Scum of the Earth.  They’ve also enthusiastically embraced the digital format, releasing a number of titles, including Mishka & The Sea Devil and Vamplets: The Nightmare Nursery, in comiXology’s Guided View Native format.

Their latest is Planet Gigantic, and this new series can be described in one word- FUN!  Planet Gigantic #1 opens with two cybernetically enhanced pre-teen siblings crash landing on an alien planet, then immediately finding themselves plunged into weird adventures on this strange new world.  They fight a giant rock monster, then encounter a wicked space queen.  With its combination of futuristic technology and fantasy creatures, Planet Gigantic calls to mind the technoprimitive world of Masters of the Universe.  It has the feeling of the ultimate 80s fantasy movies, with supercool space kids in a fantastical world not entirely unlike that of “The Neverending Story” or “Krull.”

Planet Gigantic is a kid-friendly comic that adults can enjoy too.  It’s brisk and smart and, in case you didn’t hear  me the first time- FUN!  If you’re looking for a comic thats colorful, clever, totally without pretension or cynicism and totally with FUN, check out Planet Gigantic.
