Comments: Cosmo and his team of Astra, Medulla, Orbi and JoJo their job is to stop Princesses. Of course Captain Max Stronjaw the only human in the crew is unique looking in this crew.
The mission this issue is to handle Battle Princess Shih.
The sci-fi tech has a fun look to it. The total comic is infused with fun as the adventure unfolds. Jojo is one doggy that is much more then just cute.
We get to see a fight with mutants and soap guns. Bet that is something you do not see often.
The story is a bit slow and not a whole lot happens. The characters are fun and cute they just needed to be used better. The art is wonderful and colorful. Max is a weirdly fun character. Cosmo is the leader and we see a little of that come through here but not enough.
This all-ages comic is good for younger readers.

Comments: Orbi is a captive and we see all the crew is worried about him.
Cosmo has cosmic visions? What are these all about? It is a cool power to have and it does add to Cosmo's overall character.
The art on the space ships and space crafts is wildly imaginative and so full of colors. The big vegetable people are a cute touch to the story.
Queen Hesper the leader of the villains is not portrayed all that evil. There is little action. Seeing the friendship between Orbi and Cosmo is great. These two are best friends and teammates.
None of the characters are gotten into. We learn nothing about them other than Cosmo's cosmic vision. There is no focus on any of the characters here. The story is slow with not much of anything happening.
This is an all ages comic with some colorful art that is eye popping.

Comments: Queen Hesper of Venus is shown with attitude and love. She still wants to conquer everything and defeat Cosmo.
Cosmo and Astra share a nice moment as Cosmo tells her how important she is to him.
One Battle Princess wants to redeem herself and goes all out against Cosmo and Astra. The battle has a little humor in it. Cosmo even while fighting for his life knows how to enjoy himself. Astra now she stands by Cosmo why well she was about to say why. But did not.
Boudica the Battle Princess she is a great character a villain yes but a nice one. She is loyal to her queen. Her costume and the colors used on it look beautiful. She is one cute Battle Princess.
Cosmo is a sweet guy and lovable since he is your average ordinary guy yet he is Captain of a space ship and crew. An average guy can become above average.

Comments: Everyone wants some Martian Relics. Cosmo and his crew head to Venus to get the final relic. The characters are always having fun. It is easy to see they enjoy what they do.
The plan for Cosmo and crew obviously does not go as planned. We are treated to a nice little battle against a couple Princesses of Venus.
This is a very fast read. Your done almost before you start.
The art is cute. Each personality is brought out to showcase each character as an individual even while being a part of the same crew.
Now the evil Queen and Cosmo it appears a relationship/friendship in the past. How is this affecting how she is now acting?
The three Princesses are certainly something else. Cosmo though is the main focus he is a fun guy doing what he thinks is right. He is a good guy.

Comments: Cosmo is a captive of Queen Hesper. The Queen in her own way does love Cosmo yet he does not love her. He does though make a good distraction and a little annoying one as well.
Cosmo's crew do come through for him. They are a mixed bunch. Friend, scientist, shape shifting dog, human, a possible love interest and pilot and of course Cosmo he does make one great Captain and of course there is Max the human.
The illustrations are done with beautiful colors and the characters are fun to see.
We are treated to a big fight with a Voltron type robot transformer and a mutant Battle Princess. Some ancient Martian relics do add to our heroes battle readiness.
For the last issue of this series it is pretty tame over all. It does have all the crew lead by Cosmo together and ready for more adventure. They are ready but is the universe ready for them?
