"Nnedi Okorafor expands the comics medium with her innumerable talents, stirring vital conversations about race and immigration. LaGuardia explores how the macro scale of interplanetary exchange and the micro scale of plant consciousness can unlock the solutions to global politics, cultural clash, and refugee crisis. Tana Fordβs ink line imbues all species with warmth, empathy, and playful sci-fi detail.β

βOkorafor at her best; both timely and weird. LaGuardia jabs pointed fingers at here-and-now paranoia centered around borders and race, while having wild fun creating some of the best extra-terrestrials ever.β β Nalo Hopkinson (Sandman: House of Whispers, Sister Mine)
βLaGuardia is unique, playful, heartbreaking, empowering and full of hope for the future. The wisdom Okorafor imparts in each panel pushes back against the darkest urges of our humanΒ nature and creates a space that lets usΒ allΒ live.β - John Jennings
Β
"Instead of tossing around volatile political issues like a knee-jerk twitter debate, LaGuardia imagines them through the lives of authentic and engaging characters, placing them into a surreal, but shrewd, reflection of our current reality. Fordβs art deftly balances the unique mix of intense personal drama and cool alien worldbuildingβ - Sean Murphy (Punk Rock Jesus, Batman: White Knight)
Β
βThe best of Okoraforβs proseβ personal, political and deeply relatable.β
