"It's immediately obviousthe two (Shobo and Shof Coker) are passionate about the world they are building.They are incorporating different aspects of their culture: shared mythology,religion,history... The variety of African influences is evident andaesthetically the book is a fantastic dictionary of Afrofuturist elements."-Black Nerd Problems"Shobo and Shof give us an original,beautifullycrafted sci-fi with New Masters. It's an incredible debut from adistinctly African perspective. Shof's rhythmic storytelling,palettes,andworld building visuals perfectly seam with Shobo's intriguing cast of heroes,cut throats,and politicians like only brothers can. Immerse yourself in thisnew world,you won't regret it!"-Nick Dragotta,East ofWest
