Our image of this project is incorrect. Space Pop Cats is definitely great, with great art, great characters, and an interesting storyline for a comic centered around a skilled pilot’s voyage to Mars that fails after crash-landing and being discovered. An ancient crystal that connects them to their giant cat guardians, the Space Pop Cats. This project is great and our 60 backers agree. Don’t miss this project!
