When we think it couldn't get better, new planes, new scenarios, improved action poses, scenarios and characters. The humor and tension is always present making the book unable to put it down. It's a great series. I recommend it to every age.
It's full and satisfying story.

Ben Hatke brings back our intrepid space heroine for another delightful sci-fi/fantasy adventure in this New York Times-Bestselling graphic novel trilogy for middle grade readers. Zita the Spacegirl has saved planets, battled monsters, and wrestled with interplanetary fame. But she faces her biggest challenge yet in the third and final installment of the Zita adventures. Wrongfully imprisoned on a penitentiary planet, Zita has to plot the galaxy's greatest jailbreak before the evil prison warden can execute his plan of interstellar domination!

I've read books where I get halfway through and realize I don't care about the main character. Somehow, in this series, Ben. Hatke manages to make all of the characters endearing. Well, except for the evil ones. There is action! There is heart! There is laughter! Everything you would want in a book, any book, not just a comic book or graphic novel. I love this series. I'm sad to see it end. I will miss this world any it's inhabitants. I will miss Zita. I guess I'll just have to buy the books and read them again. ^_^

SQUEE! And also... *sob*
 
This is the last book in the series, so that makes me a little sad. However it's also an amazing, and still open-ended, way to tie up what's happened so far! No spoilers, but this was action packed and fun. I love that nothing has changed despite Zita's many adventures. She's still strong, still giving, and still willing to save everyone, even if it means putting herself in danger. Friendship is a huge factor in these stories, and I love it!
 
True to form, the illustrations are amazing. Ben Hatke uses vibrant colors, and his panels always delight. I love the little notes of whimsy his characters have. Every single one is so different, and so interesting. Some cute, some creepy, all fascinating. Hatke has such a knack for drawing the reader in, and making them want to stay.
 
All of my favorite characters were back this time around too! I had missed them last book, so it was nice to see them back where they belonged. As I said before, Zita's main strength is in the friends she makes and the relationships she forges. After all, who can do anything entirely on their own?
 
Will there be more Zita? I desperately hope so. I'll miss her.
