Comixology Originals is launching a new graphic novel dubbed Major Thomás, which will take readers across space. The story follows Thomás Mùnoz, a man who always dreamed of traveling across the stars, but as he finally takes his much-anticipated adventure, he will find himself in the middle of an intergalactic war.
Major Thomás is the debut graphic novel by writer Omar Morales, with art by Serg Acuña (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Mau Mora. Additionally, Major Thomás includes a foreword by real-life astronaut José M. Hernández. The graphic novel also features an educator’s guide written by Creators Assemble!, a nonprofit made up of teachers and librarians.
Check out preview images below, along with the official summary text for the new book…
Thomás Mùnoz was born into poverty with one dream—exploring the cosmos as an astronaut with his best friend, Lisa. While Thomás studies and overcomes many of his circumstances to become a NASA astronaut, he continues to suffer from anxiety and imposter syndrome.
In the near future, the launch clock to all of Thomás’ dreams counts down, but even after years of elite NASA training, he’s still not ready to let go of Earth. When he ends up lost in space he is stranded far away from our solar system and becomes entangled in an intergalactic war. Violent reptoids are hell-bent on destroying Thomás, and the robots he befriends, in their quest to control all of the resources in the star system. Throughout the brutal war, Thomás’ mind remains focused on cultural lessons learned from his mother and now-love interest, Lisa, who is back on Earth, working on a rescue plan with NASA. Will Thomás survive both the intergalactic battle and overcome the war raging inside of him?
“I created Major Thomás to inspire young brown people from all over the world to reach for their dreams, no matter the obstacles, no matter their circumstances,” says writer Omar Morales. He continued, “The fictional characters in Major Thomás are inspired by real-life Latino heroes, and put into a fun, sci-fi adventure story.”
Major Thomás will be available to read digitally on March 25, 2025, from Comixology Originals.
