Praise for SPACE BATTLE LUNCHTIME

"Given that there's a relative dearth of LGBTQ characters in kids comics, this is a welcome addition to a growing wave of better representation. Riess' illustrations are colorful and bubbly, with hints of manga influence that goes well with the lively space-adventure. A quick, sweet entry in an appealing series." Booklist

"Heavily awash in a spectrum of bubble-gum pinks, this is a fun, fierce, and inventive tale that will appeal to those seeking read-alikes for Noelle Stevenson's fan-favorites Nimona (2015) and Lumberjanes. A genre-buster, for sure, and a delightful mashup at that." Kirkus

"GBBO [Great British Bake-Off] and Masterchef fever makes its way to comics—with a galactic twist... Riess brings the story to life with some joyfully expressive, colourful art." The Guardian

"Chefs have to think on their feet and react quickly, especially when they're in competition—ESPECIALLY when that competition is in SPACE! With fun characters and delicious dishes, this space adventure fits right into the young chef's menu." - Lucy Knisley (Relish: My Life in the Kitchen)

"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... 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." Autostraddle

"There have been some amazing comics in recent months, and one of the most delightful comes from Oni Press' Space Battle Lunchtime. The series is full of fun and whimsy and features some charming artwork to boot. " ComicBook.com
