Moonshot: The Indigenous Comics Collection, Volume 1 by Hope Nicholson

5.0

Great read and a welcome change from stories we commonly read in more available media. A wonderful combination of indigenous writing and storytelling with brilliant art. Many of these are combined with genres of sci-fi and fantasy unlike anything I've read. Perhaps most important in this volume is the Introduction which marks as a signpost as it enumerates stereotypes which are far too common of indigenous people in mainstream media. Inside are beautiful stories which are indeed different from others I know. The Afterword outlines this well that ".... stories from Indigenous culture in North America may not be what contemporary Western audiences expected, with clear good and evil characters following a beginning-middle-end. A few that are includes in MOONSHOT are more akin to vignettes; moments in time." I'm very glad that I backed this Kickstarter. I cannot wait to read Volumes 2 and 3 next...
