  • Summary

  • You are in for a treat today because I have writer Tananarive Due on the podcast with me to chat about her new Image Comics project Moon Dogs. She's new to comics but has an American Book Award, an NAACP Image Award, a World Fantasy Award, and two Stoker nominations under her belt already and this book is absolutely fantastic so if she sticks with it, I'm personally convinced there will be an Eisner to add to the trophy cabinet down the road. Moon Dogs is the third launch from The Horizon Experiment, a series of five one-shot comic books each featuring original protagonists from a marginalized background set in a popular genre and inspired by pop culture icons. In this story we follow Nala, a young werewolf, and her family of East African shapeshifters in Miami. There's even a werehyena. Can you believe it? My favorite animal. That's not a big spoiler. It's a mixed family after all. Do yourself a favor and call your shop to snag yourself a copy because I'm convinced the numbers will merit at least a follow up limited series. Make sure to sign up for her mailing list. Additional creative team members Kelsey Ramsay - Art Jose Villarrubia - Colors Jeff Powell - Letters From Bloody Disgusting: Co-edited by Pichetshote and award-winning editor Will Dennis (Somna, Gideon Falls), The Horizon Experiment: Moon Dogs follows a Black family of lycanthropes of East African descent—who call themselves Moon Dogs—as older sister Nala, her parents, and her boyfriend try to protect her teen brother Kai as he gets caught in the middle of a burgeoning war between a savage pack of werewolves and the Miami police force. After a violent attack, Miami locals are starting to learn that werewolves are not just a myth, and Nala’s family—who are minorities within a minority—find themselves drawn into a very dangerous situation.
