Media Release -- After surviving one round of Space Battle Lunchtime, Peony is a little more confident in her cooking abilities. And the chefs are warned against sabotaging each other, so maybe this round will go a little more smoothly. OR… the sabotage will continue! And this time, someone may end up in the hospital!

Why We Love It:
Peony gets a new outfit (and it's SUPER cute), and makes new friends (which is EVEN MORE cute).
She may be cute and harmless, but Peony's not giving up just yet. Just look at the LITERAL FIERY DETERMINATION IN HER EYES.
No slug aliens were mortally injured in the making of this comic. Just seriously injured. (Don't worry, he's still on this mortal coil).
Praise for SPACE BATTLE LUNCHTIME:
9.5 OUT OF 10 REVIEW: "Funnier than the first issue with a lot of cooking action that's quite exciting. If you like cooking shows, science fiction for all ages, or all of those combined, this is can't miss comics. It blows away any cooking show you've seen on TV." AIPT!
4.5 OUT OF 5 REVIEW: "Writer, illustrator, and letterer Natalie Riess hypnotized me with a surprisingly compelling story, filled to the brim with vibrant characters and gorgeous art. [...] The art, writing, lettering, and paneling were excellent. So much so that I am going down to Mile High Comics and adding Space Battle Lunchtime to my pull list. I suggest you all do the same." Comic Crusaders
"I'm going to make a bold claim here: Space Battle Lunchtime, the new comic from Oni Press by Natalie Riess features the cutest cooking contest in the history of food—yeah, even cuter than The Great British Bake Off. [...] It's like The Great British Bake Off, Chopped, MasterChef, MasterChef Jr. and Cutthroat Kitchen all combined with the cutest parts of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Bravest Warriors. So basically it's amazing. Basically you need to be reading it right now. [...] At one point in issue #1, Peony and the comic were so cute I literally cried. Good job Natalie Riess." Autostraddle, "Drawn to Comics: Space Battle Lunchtime is the Cutest Cooking Comic in the Galaxy"
"A smorgasbord of adolescent entertainment!" Geeks of Doom
