I had no idea, when we all picked this book for CfC, that, as good as it looked then, it would turn out this BEAUTIFUL. Amazing work! -Charlie Adlard, The Walking Dead Blends exciting adventure, compelling drama, and rich Nigerian mythology to present a vibrant new take on Afrofuturism. -Graphic Policy It's immediately obvious the two [Shobo and Shof Coker] are passionate about the world they are building. They are incorporating different aspects of their culture: shared mythology, religion, history... The variety of African influences is evident and aesthetically the book is a fantastic dictionary of Afrofuturist elements. -Black Nerd Problems Shobo and Shof give us an original, beautifully crafted sci-fi with New Masters. It's an incredible debut from a distinctly African perspective. Shof's rhythmic storytelling, palettes, and world building visuals perfectly seam with Shobo's intriguing cast of heroes, cut throats, and politicians like only brothers can. Immerse yourself in this new world, you won't regret it! -Nick Dragotta, East of West The art is breathtaking, tilting and zooming through action at dizzying speeds while offering a wealth of worldbuilding details that readers will want to savor. Distinctive character designs, warm family dynamics, and careful attention to emotional beats ensure that the large cast and shifting POVs all work in concert. While the climactic showdown resolves a bit quickly, what emerges is a vision of a future where making space for a new generation that values community and shared resources may offer a way forward for all. Back matter includes developmental sketches and notes. VERDICT Readers will be hoping for more adventures in this expansive world. A strong choice for YA graphic novel collections. -School Library Journal (starred review)
