I've been really enjoying Menota's "Correspondence from the End of the Universe", a soft science fiction series about Marko, a young Russian who gets abducted by aliens just before he plans on proposing to his long term partner. It turns out there's an intergalactic organization that creates planets, with the staff randomly selected from across the universe to serve a ten year term. Marko wants to return to Earth but also can't help but become close to his new coworkers and the wider universe he's forced to learn about.

Doctor Who/Star Trek/early 20th century anthologyish in nature, there's an overarching plot about Marko's quest to go home and the complications that ensue, tying together episodic narratives about different planets and aliens and the complicated nature of planet creation. Sweet and whimsical and horrific by turns - a story about Muu, a young alien Marko finds himself acting as a parental figure to, starting space kindergarten, is next to a story about an escapee survivor from a planet of cannibals that the intergalactic government didn't quite manage to genocide. There's a quality to Menota's art that makes stark body horror and intricate floral creations exist alongside each other without anything feeling out of place.

A quiet gem of a series that seems to have slipped under the radar.
