Apollo Astro #5 is made up of several vignettes and one longer piece. The vignettes are the strength of the collection. Turnbull nails teenage longing in all of its stomach churning, self-important aching in "The Girl From Outer Space" and "Meet Nichole" with impressive clarity. He then turns on childhood memories with "Hug #1 (My Father)" and ties the collection up with the cartoony fun "Blood Brothers: Part One," featuring a rectangle with eyes and a circle with hair.
