The author reached out to me to review a copy of this and I really enjoyed it. We follow Lanmé who is descendent of a the Haitian goddess of the ocean Loa LA SIRÉNE aka The Mermaid of Vodou. In this world people with super abilities are not welcomed. So when a space ship crashes and sets the city of fire our main character has to decide what to do. I though that this was a good start to a solid comic book series. I intrigued and still have questions so I will be continuing on.
