She's also made enemies, which has led to her being thrown into a terrible underground prison. Zita has saved many people and multiple worlds since leaving Earth to rescue her classmate Joseph. THE RETURN OF ZITA THE SPACEGIRL is the third and final Zita graphic novel (for now). Now they have the whole series, which I plan to borrow again for a reread ASAP! They didn’t stock this book but they bought it just because I asked them to. Once again, I have to say that I love my library. It’s one of those melty heart stories that makes you appreciate Zita even more. In what I’ll call the Special Features after Zita’s journey concludes (I’ve been bingeing a lot of TV series recently) there’s a beautiful story of how she came to be.

While you could argue that this series presents a good case for quit while you’re ahead I’d keep reading if another Zita book magically appeared in front of me. Although the story could end with this book and currently does, there is potential to keep the story going. Like the two previous Zita books the illustrations in this one were brilliant. I also loved that previous favourites including One, Strong-Strong, Randy and Shippy returned. Thankfully she’s made such an impact previously that there’s no shortage of people/beings/objects willing to lend a hand or whatever is needed to contribute to saving her.įemur and Raggy, Zita’s dungeon mates, were the comic relief for me and became new favourites. What’s lovely about this story is that you don’t just get to witness Zita saving a friend, an enemy or a world Zita needs help herself in this one. I don’t think I’d return if I were her because of all of the amazing adventures she’s had and the wonderful friends she’s met along the way, but it’s what she’s dreamed of since the beginning so I couldn’t help cheering her on. Poor Mouse appears at her kangaroo court and, shackled in a way that brought to mind Hannibal Lector, he’s been sentenced to death! But wait! Who or what is that mysterious creature in the blue cape that’s overlooking the proceedings?īringing back all of my favourites from the first two books and introducing a few new ones, this is the action packed volume that finally answers the question of whether Zita ever returns home to Earth. Zita is on trial in the Court of Dungeon World, facing a slew of trumped up charges her heroics in the first two graphic novels twisted into crimes. What a fun way to round out the trilogy! After the huge Legends of Zita the Spacegirl cliffhanger I’ve been keen to know where we’d find Zita at the beginning of this story.
