Wow, lots of responses here! 
All of your responses and feedbacks are greatly appreciated. I don't know what to say. I'll work more on my composition I guess and I never realized that the logo looks like the Star Trek. I'll better check those first before I finalized everything. Thanks for the reminder!
Catch you all soon!

Is it just me, or is it that this artwork rings a bell from the 70s where space and sci-fi are in its peak?

Hmm... I don't want to be harsh, but it looks like a Buzz Lightyear ripoff.

Uh. My first thought was why does Buzz Lightyear have a star trek logo on him?!
Unless this is going to be a comic that makes fun of itself and is being trite on purpose like Robot Chicken or maybe Tripping the Rift.....then....no offense, but it seems like it's just a completely overplayed clichΓ© with no witty twist what so ever. Not very appealing at all. Even if the main character didn't look like Buzz Lightyear, even the layout and logo is wholly clichΓ© and unappealing.
Not trying to be a jerk, just being honest. Sorry if it's offensive.

Cute, but I would lay off the star brush. It's distracting, and you would have been better off placing some well thought out drawn sparkles in places. Also there's some weird tangents being created with the way the girl in the background meets with the spaceman. I keep thinking her crossed arm is his arm but wildly huge. I think it would have been better compositionally if they were standing in the same space, but just pushed back. Because she's so much larger than the spaceman, and then the "thing" in the back is about the right size perspective-wise with the spaceman, it just seems off. I see you tried to balance it out compositionally with the moon, but it's still a very blank and dark space (no pun intended) so it still feels very heavy on the left. The spacemans elbow is so hidden its hard to notice the arm holding the helmet, but I know you probably did it that way because otherwise it would obscure the woman. It's still confusing to look at though.
The inking is nice though, good variation of lineweight. You didn't go overboard with the shading, it's in key places and left enough for the colorist to work with. I like the lines on the "thing" in the back in particular, he has a cute rock like quality to him.
I hope that wasn't that harsh of a critique, but keep it up!

Nice but my first thought was also Buzz Lightyear.

You mean Buzz lightyear? lol
I think this one woulda went better if you made the BG yourself instead of adding stars.
Grats on the DD.
