Eisner and Hugo Award Winner!
Written by Nnedi Okorafor, Hugo and Nebula award-winning author and the writer of Marvel's Shuri, this deluxe trade paperback collects issues #1-#4 of the mini-series and includes artist sketches and afterword from the author.
In an alternate world where aliens have integrated with society, pregnant Nigerian-American doctor Future Nwafor Chukwuebuka has just smuggled an illegal alien plant named Letme Live through LaGuardia International and Interstellar Airport...and that's not the only thing she's hiding.
She and Letme become part of a community of human and alien immigrants; but as their crusade for equality continues and the birth of her child nears, Future—and her entire world—begins to change.
"Laguardia" is essential reading for our times." – Comicbook.com
"Classic speculative fiction at its best, coupled with an endearing protagonist, and a vibrant, living sci-fi world rendered by a fantastic art team." – Multiversity.com
This was quite a fun graphic novel that occasionally was weighed down by unexplained elements and sometimes hectic storytelling. Regardless, it's definitely one to check out if you are a fan of Okorafor's writing and intriguing speculative fiction.
