'Okorafor 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.' - Nalo Hopkinson (Sandman: House of Whispers, Sister Mine) 'LaGuardia 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 human nature and creates a space that lets us all live.' - John Jennings 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. Ford's art deftly balances the unique mix of intense personal drama and cool alien worldbuilding' - Sean Murphy (Punk Rock Jesus, Batman: White Knight) 'The best of Okorafor's prose-- personal, political and deeply relatable.'--Newsarama 'With Laguardia, Nnedi Okorafor continues her work of bringing a unique, insightful Black African science fiction aesthetic to audiences.' - Black Nerd Problems
