“The time has come for Cleo to fulfill the ancient prophecy that declares her a savior and a hero, a prophecy she still struggles to accept. Cleo is joined by both old and new friends as they fight to defend the galaxy she’s come to call home against the evil Xaius Octavian. The Queen of the Nile must summon the strength to face down her enemy one last time, and keep her friends — and herself — alive.”

Series Info/Source: This is the sixth (and final) book in the Cleopatra in Space series. I bought this book.

Story (4/5): This wraps up the graphic novel series very nicely. Cleopatra and crew are desperate to stop Octavian and it will take all of her allies both past and present to do this. You learn some more interesting history about Octavian and get to learn more history about Cleopatra’s world as well.

Characters (4/5): I enjoy all the characters in this series. There is a big focus on friendship here and all of Cleopatra’s friends help her out nicely with their own personal strengths. They are all well done. I also continue to enjoy all the cats 🙂

Setting (4/5): This book is set in space and also in the past in Egypt a bit. It’s well done and I enjoyed it.

Writing/Drawing Style (4/5): The drawings are colorful and easy to follow. The writing is also easy to follow and well done. All in all this is a very good graphic novel that both kids and adults can enjoy.

My Summary (4/5): Overall this was an excellent conclusion to the Cleopatra in Space series and wrapped everything up in a very nice way. This is a high quality graphic novel series that I think both kids and adults will enjoy if you like sci-fi graphic novels about space travel and prophecies. My thirteen year old son and I both enjoyed this series. I definitely plan on checking out Maihack’s future projects.
