Cover of Josh Hick's graphic novel. In a style that's a lot anime and a bit American animation style, there's a giant robot, half in cross section with 4 teen hotel staffers in front looking worried or cross.
📚👍Hotelitor, Luxury-Class Defense and Hospitality Unit is a MG adventure about being stranded in space, giant robot battles, capitalism & finding yourself. In the best way, it feels like the pilot episode of an animated show you'd watch as a family.
