I met Dawud and Brian at a convention in Dallas and fell in love with the artwork in this volume and decided to take a chance on their social justice graphic novel. The artwork--an almost psychedelic mix of retro colors and urban graffiti style--is amazing, but the story really moved me as well. This book hearkens back to the social justice roots of comics (http://comicbastards.com/comics/dont-...) and couldn't be more timely with the current rise of Neo-Fascist authoritarianism across the world and the accompanying social movements dedicated to resisting it (Black Lives Matter, specifically.) Looking forward to volume 2, and hoping that this takes off. Really quite an achievement.

A gripping social justice comic and origin story about Antonio Valor a.k.a. Brotherman and his family. This volume has a tragic cliffhanger, but Valor has my full attention! There definitely a call for more comics (especially comics with an all-POC cast) in which the hero is an ordinary citizen of ordinary means struggling to make a difference in a scary climate. There is some clunky exposition (Leonard Valor's buddy Brick telling Leonard about his gangster days), but it's also a classic origin story, so lots of backstory is expected.

I went into reading this with no expectations, and finished absolutely loving it and hoping that the next volume is either already available or soon will be. The artwork - I just love it. I paused multiple times and just looked at the page.

One of my favorite comic books ever. The art, flawless. The writing is flawless. Can't wait to see the next one.
