Send us a textWelcome to another season of Storied Arcs! For this outing, Mike and Alex will be covering the YA-focused (that's Young Adult) series Outpost Zero by Sean Kelley McKeever and Alexandre Tefenkgi from the Image Comics imprint, Skybound. They guys will talk about why they choose a YA book for discussion and what appealed to them about this specific comic (generational ship, last ark to save humanity, kids on bikes adventure but make it Hoth- you know, things like that). Then as always, they'll give you the background of the series creative team and talk about why McKeever, who has a long history of writing comics focused in and around teen characters, and Tefenkgi, who made his US comics debut with this book, were the perfect combo to tell this story.If you find the label "YA comic" off-putting, I implore you to give Outpost Zero a shot. It's a fun coming-of-age story that deals with real-world topics and issues and doesn't shy away from them. It's a book that can be enjoyed by someone in that middle-grade reader age range from 10 to 14ish, as well as readers significantly older (like your two co-hosts). So go find Outpost Zero Vol. 1 (issues #1-4) wherever you get your comics and join us back here next week for our deep-dive into the comic!Thanks for listening to Storied Arcs Find us on your favorite podcast platform and leave a 5-star review!
