Are you looking for two heroes to unite and take an alien space force? Well, you have it here. Zita and Jack are both main characters in their own graphic novel series but here we have them joining forces to save the world. Both are strong lead characters in a fight of good against evil. Be aware there is violent content within the illustrations. ( )

So fun! ( )

Loved it. Whimsical, magical, emotional, and mighty fun! Both series were fun from beginning to end. ( )

In this fabulous Zita the Spacegirl/Mighty Jack crossover, all the heroes work together to save earth from the giants. Madrigal and Piper are unable to join the fight, and Maddy and Jack's mom and the robot One get left behind on earth, so it's up to Zita, Jack, and Lilly. Lilly is initially suspicious and resentful of Zita, but they resolve their differences, and Lilly admits that it's her fault that a doorway still exists, because after they destroyed the garden, she kept one magical plant and used it to go visit the goblins.

Zita to Lilly: "When I was...traveling, I tried my best to do what I thought was right. It didn't always work out....I think you did the right thing. The goblins needed you. I think...no matter how hard you try to do right, things will go wrong somehow. But it's worse if you stop trying." ( )
