Comic story on black racial trauma held with an artifact. It was an interesting depiction of the culmination of anger, grief, oppression can create a force so volatile it consume anyone in its path.

What kind of nightmares have been borne out of Black trauma? 

This book highlights the horrors of (white) human inflicted on (black) human. 

It's dark, and it's intended to be. 

(I read issue #1 a while back from NetGalley, so was super excited to support this Kickstarter and get the TPB!)
