Dark Horse Comics has announced a new series from David A. Goodman (Futurama, The Orville) called Space Job. Space Job features art by Álvaro Sarraseca and colors by Jordi Escuin Llorach.
“Most of the people in the world work in jobs they hate, and I don’t think that will be any different in the future,” says writer David A. Goodman, “the human adventure is figuring out how you’re going to get through the day without getting fired. I think we will relate to the crew of this ship, and enjoy their travels because it’s not happening to us.”
So what’s Space Job about?
It’s the future, and serving aboard the S.S. Bush is the worst job in the fleet. The Captain is every terrible, self-centered boss you’ve ever had, more concerned with what he bought on Space eBay than he is in getting the work done; the Communications Officer always seems to be on a personal call, and nothing gets fixed because the Chief Engineer really is only interested in hitting on his coworkers. They’re on a simple cargo run, and the biggest threat to the ship is the fact that the Operations Officer, the one guy holding it all together, is updating his resume. What could go wrong?
