Stephen McCranie’s Space Boy #1 introduces a quiet, poignant journey set in a near-future where a family’s cryogenic journey back to Earth forces a young girl to navigate a world she’s never known. Amy, who experiences people as flavors, struggles to adjust when her father’s job loss leads to their 30-year hibernation—and now, as a teenager, she’s confronted with a world that feels alien, even as she tries to reconnect with her once-close friend Jemmah. The story unfolds with gentle mystery around the enigmatic white-haired boy who, to Amy’s perception, has no flavor at all. Written and illustrated by Stephen McCranie, with inks by the same, the issue’s cover by McCranie captures the quiet unease and wonder of a new beginning.

Amy is synesthetic, perceiving people as flavors. When her father loses his job in space, the family is cryogenically frozen for the 30-year trip to earth, where Amy has never been. Adjustment is difficult, and refuses to reconnect her best friend Jemmah, who is now in her mid-40s. She slowly makes good friends at school, but is, like them, frightened at the silent and unsocial boy with white hair, whom she perceives to have no flavor at all.
