Every day in Taylor Barzelay’s life might seem perfect—but every day is torture. Taylor is actually the Galaxy Crowned, an alien princess from the planet Cyandii, and one of the few survivors of an intergalactic war. For six long, painful years, Taylor has accepted her duty to remain in hiding as a boy on Earth. But that all changes when Taylor meets Metropolis girl Katherine “call me Kat” Silverberg, whose confidence is electrifying. Suddenly, Taylor no longer wants to hide, even if exposing her true identity could attract her greatest enemies. Written by Jadzia Axelrod (Wonderful Women of the World) with art by Jess Taylor (Of Her Own Design), this Free Comic Book Day special edition features an excerpt from the upcoming original graphic novel Galaxy: The Prettiest Star.

Love everything about it

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2023

Verified Purchase

This is the first thing of Jadzia Axelrod I read and it blew me away. Its like some one took a bunch of awesome and threw it all together into a sold brick of awesome.
I really enjoy the art style, the David Bowie references, the doggo. The story really spoke to me. Of course its a trans story, but honestly I think most people can relate in some fashion for the need to be yourself.
Worth noting that this is an origin story for a character that is starting to appear in regular DC comics.
Excited to see all the places this character is going and for more stories from this author.

The best damn gift to give a young trans woman.

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2023

Verified Purchase

Like Ms. Axelrod, I came out to myself in my 30s. If I had read this book when I was in high school, I think I might have been able to leapfrog over the decades of dysphoria and uncertainty and anxiety that was my adult life and reach for something more.

The beauty and labor of love that went into this novel is just through the charts. The color schemes and facial expressions are just tugging at my heartstrings and my laughing muscles. My favorite comic illustrator is Kevin McGuire (JLI), and Jess Taylor's style is far more pronounced and manga-like, but still has the same range of communicating emotion and nuance. And the fashion... I mean, you know the character designs are a treasure trove of style. I wish I had gotten into fashion earlier in life, and this book definitely inspires. But it's also timeless in many ways.

Just, wow.

A review from a straight/cis dad.

Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2022

Verified Purchase

I feel it important to first say I am a straight/cis man, but I’m also a parent of a young kid who I’d hope knows they can always be themselves around me. This book is an allegory for the trans experience. It is very well told a has beautiful art work. While I’ll never understand what it’s like to be trans, between this book and talking to friends who are trans I do feel I gained some important insight. All of that aside (not that it should be set aside) it’s a lovely book. I got emotional reading it. It didn’t go where I thought it was in the end but I still thought it was a great read.

Gorgeous, visceral, heartwarming

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2022

Verified Purchase

I adored this book. Axelrod and Taylor have created a lush and vibrant coming-of-age story that is also a clever allegory for growing up trans. The artwork is bold and impressionistic, and does a wonderful job of drawing us into Taylor’s world and the larger-than-life emotions that surround the teenage years. For anyone who has ever felt out-of-place in their own body, anyone who has ever felt like an outsider who had to hide their real self, anyone who has ever felt the joy and terror that comes from stepping outside their family’s/community’s expectations to embrace their authentic self, GALAXY: THE PRETTIEST STAR will feel achingly familiar … and it will also offer hope, that the benefits of being yourself will far outweigh the cost.

Absolutely heartwarming story

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2022

I’m really glad that the struggles of trans people weren’t sugarcoated in this story. I’ve read it front to back at least 10 times and I love it every time. The transgender representation, the lesbian representation, and disabled representation was beautiful written and illustrated.

Representation matters! Thank you!

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2022

Verified Purchase

I bought this for my 10 year old trans nephew who loves writing comics. It's still a little above his reading level, but his eyes lit up when I told him about the story and how a trans person wrote it. Thank you for showing him what's possible. The story itself is very relatable and the artwork is fantastic. I have a humble request that the sequel have a trans boy protagonist. Love love love!

Une oeuvre sensible et bienveillante

Reviewed in France on May 29, 2022

Cette histoire illustre à merveille la thématique de la transidentité et de l'acceptation de soi, toujours avec sensibilité, tact et bienveillance. Selon ses propres mots, l'auteure souhaitait écrire l'histoire qu'elle aurait aimé lire, son récit a en tout cas grandement résonné en moi.
