Dynamic illustrations and campy humor combine in this sci-fi graphic novel. A sassy teenage Cleopatra is yanked from first-century B.C. Egypt to the Nile galaxy thousands of years in the future. She's hailed as a messiah, destined to crush the evil Xerx. Maihack's time-warped Egypt is portrayed in crisp line art, muted jewel tones, and striking perspectives to create riveting panels.
