New African Mythology Comic Series Follows A Pack Of Egyptian Werewolves (Bleeding Cool, via okayafrica)
Currently available in iBook and Kindle format; really hoping for print soon. The creator is a one man shop, so I think it may be a few months.

Finally sat down to watch Sankofa this evening and...I don't know.
So many questions:
- Brother Shango (XangĂ´?) held a machete for a good half of the movie, and didn't cut a single person. Disappointed.
- Where in the U.S. was this plantation? There weren't very many successful maroon colonies in the U.S., IIRC (though I suppose that you could say that the cave folks didn't quite comprise a colony).
- Is Crazy Joe supposed to be a literally tragic mulatto?
- Why is everyone speaking as if they were from their respective countries in the 1990s?
- Why could I never like Shola?
- Why did this whole thing seem like a stage play that wandered out of doors?
- Should I just have re-read Kindred? I feel like the answer is 'yes.'
