The Return of Zita the Spacegirl

Juv: Graphic Novel, human girl navigates alien menaces trying to keep herself and her friends safe.
This is the third (and last?) installment of the Zita the Spacegirl graphic novel series. (Parts 1&2 reviewed here)
After Zita gets her best friend accidentally teleported off Earth into a universe full of aliens and marvels, she manages to get him sent home through a series of adventures chronicled in the first two volumes. Unfortunately for her, a copy-bot impersonates her, resulting in her being branded as a criminal and incarcerated on a rocky asteroid, which is where we start.
Zita keeps her spunky attitude pretty intact as various friends (old and new) appear like clockwork to help Zita and the other unfortunate captives escape the brutal clutches of the Screed Dungeon Lord, and to prevent the Screed from using the final (?) portal device to invade Earth itself!
Lots of stuff going on, and lots of characters to remember from the last installments, plus a few more interesting characters to learn to love. The ending is bittersweet, with a not-so-subtle hint towards further adventures (which I would be all about, just FYI) that Zita and Joseph will undertake with their assorted and colorful friends.
