Moonshot: The Indigenous Comics Collection, Volume 1
by Hope Nicholson
4.5 Stars
This is a truly incredible collection of comics and stories. I really appreciate the variety of pieces in this anthology. There are takes on traditional superhero comics, creation myths, stories about the making of the world (and the unmaking of the world), stories told only in images, comics told only in words, poetry, and pieces that echo traditional storytelling methods. This collection succeeds in showing that no two Native experiences are the same, no two ideologies are the same, no two nations are the same, and most importantly that Indigenous futurism occupies an incredible space. As the afterward says, Indigenous storytelling is about the past, the now, and the ahead and how all of these things feed into each other. This collection made me feel that and appreciate that. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to discover awesome Indigenous writers and artists.
