From Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly, the acclaimed writers of JOY RIDE and GOTHAM CITY GARAGE, with art by award-winning artist Nathan Gooden, ZOJAQAN is a fantasy adventure like nothing you've ready before.

PUBLISHER'S SYNOPSIS:
A grieving mother wakes in a brutal but fantastic landscape, where the currents of time pull her into the future, lurching forward days, years, and millennia. Her name is Shannon Kind, and her life in our world has vanished without warning. Perhaps she can find peace in her new home. Perhaps she can shape Zojaqan into a better world. But first, she must survive.

PRAISE FOR ZOJAQAN:
“Impeccably written and gorgeously illustrated. The kind of lavish, rich fantasy story I thought wasn’t being made in comics form anymore. It’s beautiful, it’s funny, it’s fierce, it’s heartbreaking. This is why I read comics, this book right here.” – Gail Simone (Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman, Deadpool, Batgirl, Red Sonja, Crosswinds)

“Gorgeous, exotic, whimsical, and dripping with the sort of elegiac sadness that makes every triumph exult and every setback howl. ZOJAQAN feels like the wonderchild of a Vonnegut hi-concept and a Burroughs adventure―with an alien violin dirge on the soundtrack. Transportational, in every conceivable way.” – Si Spurrier (X-Force, Silver Surfer, Judge Dredd, Angelic, God Shaper)

“ZOJAQAN #1 is an impressive first issue, emotionally arresting.” 10/10 – C.K. Stewart, Newsamara

“Unmistakably Black. Feminine. Strong. Older. Tired, but not beaten. Shannon’s a real person in an utterly unreal situation.” 10/10 – L.E.H. Light, Black Nerd Problems

Shan is a strong black woman, a warrior, a leader

The art of Zojaqan is so beautiful, it gave me all Sandman vibes (I'm a huge fan), and I wasn't expecting that.

The cover was the first thing that caught my attention and caused a great first impression on me.

Shan, the main character who figures on the cover, is a strong black woman, a warrior, a leader. She's been through a lot but doesn't give up easily, what sends a powerful message to the reader, in a poetic way, I may say.

I particularly think the odd creatures called Zoja fascinating and I felt the urge to protect them too, but I confess that the book is not at all what I was expecting. Anyway, I can't wait to have all the fans discussing their thoughts and ideas. Thanks to NetGalley for my copy for an honest review.
