WHY WE LOVE IT: When writer/animator Yehudi Mercado (GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: UNIVERSAL WEAPON; PANTALONES, TX) came to us with a dysfunctional family drama about three clones running a rocket ship repair shop, we were already on board.

This book kinda popped up out of left field this morning, but something about that cover really caught my attention as I scanned the new releases for the week. I've been all about fun, enjoyable adventure type of comics lately and Rocket Salvage looks like a fantastic cartoon that will only ever be animated inside my head, but hey, at least I've got that! Strap in for a thrill ride across the stars with another great hit from BOOM!
