Space Asylum FAQ
What Space Asylum is, who it is for, and where to read and buy it.
About the Comic
What is Space Asylum?
Space Asylum is an indie sci-fi comic series set in the year 2220. Captain Tom's ship, the S.S. Sutallite, is destroyed by a mysterious enemy in a golden spacesuit, and his crew is scattered across the universe. He travels from planet to planet to find his friends and rebuild the crew. It mixes comedy, action and a story about friendship.
Is Space Asylum a manga?
Not exactly. Space Asylum is an original comic by Canadian creator K.B Cerrano, drawn in an anime and manga style. It is printed in full color and reads left to right, like a Western comic book.
What age is Space Asylum for?
Space Asylum is written for all ages and suits readers 8 and up. The action is cartoon-style, there is no swearing and nothing graphic.
Is Space Asylum like Cowboy Bebop or One Piece?
It shares some things with both. Like One Piece, a captain travels world to world gathering his crew. Like Cowboy Bebop and Space Dandy, it is a comedic space adventure about a crew. The comparison page explains each match in detail.
Is there football (soccer) in Space Asylum?
Yes. Supercharged footballs are a big recurring part of the fights, used as powers and weapons. The plot is about Captain Tom and his crew, so it is not a sports tournament story, but fans of Inazuma Eleven and Blue Lock will spot the influence.
