Remote Control - Nnedi Okorafor

After the Rain - Nnedi Okorafor

We’re kicking off the year with a double-barreled shot from the prolific and multitalented Nnedi Okorafor, who is already beloved for her Binti series (a classic of 21st-century sci-fi) and has also made numerous comics Marvel’s Black Panther and the Shuri spin-off series. After the Rain is a stand-alone original graphic novel that adapts one of her earlier short stories about a young Nigerian-American woman who awakens mysterious ancestral powers while visiting her grandmother in Nigeria. Remote Control, meanwhile, is a slim fantasy novel about a girl who becomes the adopted child of the Angel of Death.
