Badass Cape: Zita and her robot wannabe.A couple of the early strips were redrawn to match the new style. Art Shift: This will only be evident if you've seen the early online strips in which Zita had a rounder face and lighter-colored hair.And the Adventure Continues: The end of book 3.
One of the web strips has a sentient alien mailbox, although it might be robotic.From the same book we get some of the rocks (the ones that look like chunks of coal) deep inside the prison planet, which are capable of motion but hide that for unknown reasons. A throwaway line from Femur implies that he's at least partially biological, though. Animate Inanimate Object: Ragpile, who came to life in the dungeons and longs to see the outside world.Aliens Speaking English: Although there are a few that don't.The Web Comics and graphic novels contain examples of: In book 2 Zita capitalizes on her fame as the planet's savior, but soon discovers that being a hero is far more complicated than she'd expected.īook 3 opens with Zita on trial for crimes she (mostly) didn't commit, but she soon discovers that being thrown in jail is the least of her worries as some of her friends are in danger and even the planet Earth may not be safe. Hopefully it's not too much of a spoiler to reveal that Zita doesn't get home straight away. Zita goes on a journey to rescue Joseph and return herself and him back to Earth before the meteor hits the planet, on the way she encounters Gentle Giant named Strong-Strong, a con-man named Piper, a Proud Warrior Race guy named One, and a klutzy robot named Randy, all who join her in her journey to rescue Joseph and hopefully return home. Joseph gets captured by a Screed, who brings him to a cult that believes he is the key to stopping a meteorite from destroying the planet. When Zita messes around with it, it opens a portal that takes the two kids to another planet. In the first book, Zita, a young Earth girl, along with her friend Joseph, sees a strange device fall from the sky.
The three books have a self-contained storyline, but end on a blatant Sequel Hook. Zita the Spacegirl appeared in 2010, followed by Legends of Zita the Spacegirl in 2012 and The Return of Zita the Spacegirl in 2014. This was followed by three kid-friendly graphic novels which place the characters in context. Hatke later published a short Zita story, "Wishing Socks", in the graphic anthology Flight Explorer (2008). Others may still be viewable via the Internet Archive. A few of the original strips can still be viewed online here. Zita the Spacegirl began in 2004 as a Webcomic by Ben Hatke, comprising a series of apparently unconnected online strips featuring the eponymous human girl and her humorous adventures with aliens and robots in outer space.
