Dark Horse Comics today announced Captain Momo’s Secret Base, a “saucy” slice-of-life adventure from Eisner Award-nominee Kenji Tsuruta.
What’s Captain Momo’s Secret Base about?
Dark Horse summarizes the book thusly:
Moshi-Moshi Momo works from home like many people—in a den crowded with books and papers, shared with a cat that’s got its own agenda. Except Momo truly does possess office space—because she lives inside a starship, and relativity means Zoom meetings need half an hour just to ask a question!
In the year 3019 AD, humanity has gotten even more work casual: most of the time, Momo doesn’t bother to wear her captain’s uniform—or anything at all—onboard the cargo vessel Blue Chateau, as she struggles against interstellar tedium, company directives, low battery strength, and her ever-underfoot cat Grandpa John. But fear not, equipped with plenty of reading material and a crate of peach liqueur, in the long haul past Proxima Centauri, space slacker Captain Momo will at last prove Newton correct—a body at rest will remain at rest!
Captain Momo’s Secret Base Vol. 1 debuts on May 15, 2024 in an oversized 53/4″ x 8 1/4″ book that clocks in at 140 pages.
