Murenga

by Nyasha Mugavazi, Andrea Cancian (Penciler), Jason Lamy (Inker, colourist, letterer)

Murenga is the first planet to be colonized by a private company, and this comes with its own trappings. When Tsitsi discovers that a long banned neuro-mapping technology that can manipulate the citizen's neuronal circuitry is being developed and deployed against her community, she panics, but they refuse to do anything other than stand down.

Their plan goes wrong when Chengetai, a child from the elite city, decides to run away and they are blamed for kidnapping. How will they survive when all the odds are stacked against them?

Stunning art, a great cast of characters (I loved their relationships and interactions with each other), and a well-designed world. But I was disappointed that - based on the description in the Kickstarter - the plot was barely started by the end of the Volume and there's no current plans to produce/kickstart the next volume. So much of the story and character development is left unfinished for the reader.

I think this first volume gets lost in the weeds a bit. I frequently found myself wondering what was going on. The art is lovely, though, and there's so much potential in the story and wordbuilding. Looking forward to the next volume.

The art is beautiful. And all in all it was a good first volume to a series. You got introduced to the world characters and a little bit of where the story was going.
Would love for the series to continue so I can find more out about this very cool looking world.

I need vol 2 soon as I feel this ended just as I was starting to get it.

The timeline is a bit confusing at times, but the world is interesting!
