Skottie Rocket: Gay Space Pirate: We'll Always Have Uranus

A minicomic that Gynn picked up at SPACE.

Title: Skottie Rocket: Gay Space Pirate: We'll Always Have Uranus
Date: 2010
Publisher: Frank Cvetkovic and David Brame
Writer: Frank Cvetkovic
Artist: David Brame

Space opera parody. Gay themed, but you probably figured that out from the title. Skottie Rocket tells the story of how he once saved the universe from a powerful and invulnerable alien who has decided to violate her own personal Prime Directive.

Some slapstick, some mocking of gay culture, some mocking of pop culture in general, some mocking of science fiction, and some space ninjas. Jokes were a bit uneven, but I found a decent amount of this to be funny. Humor was crude in places, but actually a bit tamer than I expected. I liked the character designs, particularly Skottie himself.

Rating: 6/10
